Entering Project Information (User Notes)

Project | Settings | Notes

Each project you work on in RockWorks must have its own folder, called a Project Folder, on your computer.  The Project Folder is where the borehole database (.SDB file) of the same name is created, for storage of borehole data and, for Utilities users, miscellaneous project tables.  Graphic files, grid and solid models, and other accessory files for that project should also be saved in the Project Folder.

You can use the Project | Settings | Notes tab to access a Rich Text Format (RTF) editing pane for entering miscellaneous information about the site, the data, the staff, etc.  This information is stored in the project database.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Access the RockWorks Utilities or Borehole Manager program tab.
2. Click on the Project | Settings button near the top-left of the program window to expand the settings options.
3. Click on the Notes tab to access that pane.  

3. Enter the information to be stored for the project.  There's no strict limit to the amount of text you can enter.
   • Use the Edit menu tools to cut, copy, paste, and select data.  If you have information already stored in another application, such as Microsoft Word, you can paste it here.
   • Use the Format menu options to format the text.

4. The data is automatically saved to the database (in the ProjDesc table), so when you are done editing, just click into a different tab.
