Editing Table Views

Editing the view of a table

Editing tables

Editing table records or cells is an interactive point-and-click operation.

When the data in one table is changed the dependant columns in all other tables and views are automatically updated. This also applies to collar co-ordinates and down-hole survey readings i.e. after editing collars and surveys there is no need to rebuild or desurvey the hole traces. All updates occur automatically.

The Manage ribbon must be visible in order to follow these procedures.
