Introduction

Edit Notes datasheets are used to enter text to be displayed in an "Edit Notes" field in the log header or footer. This is text that uses WYSIWYG wrapping, carriage returns, margins, border, fill, and alignment.

You can have multiple Edit Notes datasheets in your data file - one might list Project information, and another Driller information.

The Edit Rows and Groups option is a handy tool in the LogPlot Data menu which lets you change (1) the order of the rows in a single datasheet or (2) the datasheet where an Edit Notes item resides. You can also use this option to add, delete, and rename items.

 

How to Change Row Order in a Single Datasheet

  1. Click on the tab of the datasheet to be modified to make it active.
  2. Select the Data | Edit Rows and Groups menu option, or right-click in any of the datasheet's cells and select Edit Rows and Groups.
  3. If necessary, use the Group drop-down list to select the name of the datasheet in which you want to re-order the columns. You should see the datasheet's Edit Notes row names listed there.
  4. Click and drag the row names into the desired order.
  5. Click OK to accept the changes you've made, or Cancel to cancel the changes.

 

How to Move Rows between Datasheets

  1. Click on the tab of one of the datasheets to be modified to make it active.
  2. Select the Data | Edit Rows and Groups menu option, or right-click in any of the datasheet's cells and select Edit Rows and Groups.
  3. Use the Group drop-down list to select the names of the two datasheets between which you want to move Edit Notes rows. You should see the Edit Notes names listed there.
  4. Click and drag the names between groups.
  5. Click and drag to rearrange the row order as described above.
  6. Click OK to accept the changes you've made, or Cancel to cancel the changes

How to Add, Delete, or Rename a Datasheet or Group

Use the Groups menu tools to manage the Edit Notes datasheets (= "groups") in the data file.

Add a Group: Adds a new Edit Notes datasheet into the data file. You will be prompted for the name of the datasheet, which will be displayed on the tab.

Delete a Group: Deletes an Edit Notes datasheet from the data file. You will be prompted to select the name of the datasheet to be deleted. Be careful!

Rename a Group: Renames an Edit Notes datasheet ("Drilling Notes" or "Project Notes" in the above example). You will be prompted to select the name of the datasheet to be renamed, and the new name to assign it.

 

How to Add, Delete, or Rename an Edit Notes Item 

Use the Names menu tools to manage the rows (= Edit Notes items) in the data file.

Add an Edit Notes: Adds a new Edit Notes row into the selected group (datasheet). Type in the name for the new Edit Notes item.

Delete an Edit Notes: Deletes an Edit Notes row from the data file. You will be prompted to select the name of the row to be deleted. Be careful!

Rename an Edit Notes: Renames the currently-selected Edit Notes row. You will be prompted to select the name of the datasheet to be renamed, and the new name to assign it.
