General Settings

Creating a Figure Template or a Borehole Log Template begins with general settings. The following describes various settings available for a template (items marked by * are only applicable to a log template):

Basic Settings

Include the following:

• Template Name: enter a name or title for your template. This helps finding this template in the list, when you are generating the reports.
• Measurement Units: determines whether millimeter (mm) or inch (in) is used for size of the log columns and other elements on the header and footer of the report.
• Line Thickness: determines the line thickness used in the entire report.
• Log Page Depth*: determines the depth range shown on each page of the test hole log (e.g. 20 ft of depth on each page). The unit of the page depth depends on the unit system of the project for which the borehole log is being generated.

Page Settings & Header/Footer Design

To select paper size, orientation, and margins click Customize Layout button. This opens a new page providing access to the Header/Footer Designer. Click the orange paper size button on the top-right of screen to edit page settings.

Font Styles*

Click Assign Font Styles to select different font styles for the following sections of a borehole log report:

• Column Headers: click on this button to change the font size of the log column headers.
• Report Contents: click on this button to change the font size of the report contents (anything depth-related in the borehole log).
• Layer Title: click on this button to change the font size used for soil/rock layer titles.

The screenshot below explains the source of the fonts used in various sections of a report:

Other Log Template Settings*

The checkboxes below the Font Styles section provide options for cutting off the log columns below the bottom of borehole in the log:

Printing Scale*

This section shows the actual printing scale of the borehole log calculated based on: paper height, top and bottom margins, heights of the header and footer, height of the column-headers, and the page depth. If you are trying to achieve a certain printing scale (e.g. 1 cm on paper = 10 m of borehole depth) please try editing the above-noted parameters.

• If you are designing a log template, you can find the Log Columns of your borehole log in a table within the lower portion of the page.
