Preview of Borehole Log

During data entry for a test hole, you can generate a 'preview' of the borehole log without leaving the data entry page (more details).

Creating a Borehole Log

Select the New Test Hole Log tab. This tab contains the list of all test holes of this project.

1. From the drop-down menu, select the Log Template you would like to use.
2. If necessary, you can override the Page Depth to specify how many feet/metres should be presented on each page of the borehole log.
3. Select the test hole(s) from the list by clicking the checkbox. If you want to select all test holes, select the checkbox next to ‘Test Hole’ in the column-header of the table.
4. Click Generate Borehole Log button. This will generate the borehole log and opens it on a PDF viewer.
