Logs & Sheets

The Logs & Sheets page shows each location's log or sheet as it prints, one after another, so you can read a whole project without exporting a PDF. From here you can also edit what the log shows, comment and mark it up, work through its checks and flags, and check and approve it.

Open the Logs & Sheets page#

• Pick Logs & Sheets in the project's menu to see every location, or
• select rows in the table editor and choose Open log (or Open N logs) to see just those locations, in the order you picked them. A sample or stratum row brings its location.

Each log is drawn as you scroll to it. When a location's data is edited elsewhere, its log redraws the next time it is checked.

The locations list#

The Locations tab lists every location with what needs attention: validation errors, warnings, flags and open comments, as counts beside its name. A page icon with a red dot means the location has no template, so it isn't drawn or exported; its tooltip says why.

Use Filter to show only locations with errors, with flags, or whose checks are out of date. When locations have been edited since the last validation run, a note above the list says how many, with Show to list them.

Move between locations#

• Click a location to open it on its own: the side panel shows its Comments and Photos.
• Press ] for the next location and [ for the previous, or use the arrows in the panel's header. The back arrow returns to all locations.
• Scrolling the logs makes the location in view the current one.

Template and scale#

Above each log, the settings button shows its template and depth scale, and where that setting comes from: this view only, the location, the project, or the configuration. Open it to pick another Template (a log or a sheet), or set the Depth as a scale (1:50) or as metres per page.

Driller sheets are offered too, under Sheets. A sheet is laid out by shift rather than by depth, so it has no depth scale, and the parts of the page that follow depth (commenting on a depth range, moving a stratum boundary, the depth check, and the highlighter and revision cloud) don't apply to it. Everything else works on a sheet as on a log: picking a row or box, editing it, comments, marks, flags, and checking and approving.

A change shows in this view only until you save it, for This location or for every location of its type in the project (All Borehole locations, say). Saved settings are what Export PDF uses. Show every location like this changes the view only.

Zoom#

The zoom menu at the right of the toolbar has Zoom in, Zoom out, Fit and set sizes. Ctrl + and Ctrl - zoom, as does Ctrl with the scroll wheel; Ctrl 0 fits the page.

Show and hide#

Show (the eye on the toolbar) turns on and off what is drawn over the logs: lines to comments, comments, markup, flags, check errors, and check warnings and advice. Hiding only changes what you see: exports keep everything.

Export#

Export on the toolbar offers:

• Clean PDF - the logs as they print, for every location with a template. Save any view changes first.
• Review copy - a marked-up PDF of the location in view, with its comments listed; or Review copies of every location with comments.
• Comment register - a CSV of every comment, flag and checked finding.

Photos#

With one location open, the Photos tab shows its photos from Media. Click one to see it larger with its details; use the arrow keys to step through them.

The tour#

The first time you open the page, a card in the corner offers a short tour, done on your own project: it starts from the location that most needs you, and waits while you open it, click the log and start a comment. Afterwards Your first steps in the corner ticks off as you go, until it's done or you close it. Take the tour or skip it and it won't be offered again; Take the tour again at the foot of the keyboard shortcuts (?) replays it.
