Soil sample information entered in EDMS can be linked to samples in a boring/well log and automatically updated and displayed on the log. The sample data that can be linked and displayed on a log includes Sample Number, Depth, Size, Recovery, Lithology, Color, Odour, Porosity, Consistency, Wet Weight, Dry Weight, and VOC.

 

For this data to be displayed on the log, the boring/well template for the log must contain a column for that data; for example to display sample porosity the template must contain a Sample Porosity column. More information on editing a template can be found in the section Editing a Template in Chapter 5.

 

To link a boring/well log sample to an EDMS soil sample, open the log and select Edit > Sample Data or right click and select Sample Data from the Popup menu. The Sample Data form will be displayed.

 

 

To link a sample to an EDMS soil sample click on the Link column for that sample, then click on the button that appears. A list of EDMS soil samples that are associated with the boring/well will be displayed.

 

 

Select the soil sample to link and click the Ok button. The data from the EDMS soil sample will automatically be shown on the Sample Data form and appropriate log columns. In the Link column for this sample a triangle symbol will be shown to indicate that the sample is linked to an EDMS sample. Except for the sample type, N Value, symbol, line type, and any sample other types the data for this linked sample cannot be edited in the boring/well log.

 

More information on editing a boring/well sample can be found in the section Editing Sample Data in Chapter 5.
