Introduction

Edit Text datasheets are used to enter the text to be plotted in the changeable text fields in the log header and footer. These datasheets have multiple rows, each row with an Edit Text item.

You can have multiple Edit Text 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 Text 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 Text 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 Text rows. You should see the Edit Text 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 Text datasheets (= "groups") in the data file.

Add a Group: Adds a new Edit Text 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 Text 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 Text datasheet ("Drilling" or "Project" 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 Text Item

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

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

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

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