Select Table Type

To access this dialog:

Activate the Data ribbon and select Objects | New | New Hole Table

This dialog is used to select a database table structure type from the supplied list.

Creating a table using this facility will create the necessary data components in memory. The table will not immediately exist as a physical file, so it is necessary to save your project after creating a table in this way if you wish to preserve the results. You will be prompted, on saving your project, to save the new data, and optionally include a reference to it in the project (.dm) file.

Data tables, for each type, require a minimum field specification. For example, Collars tables will, as a minimum, require a Hole ID, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Length and Azimuth information for each collar position, so these columns are automatically created, without corresponding values.

The following list shows a full breakdown of the fields included in each new table type:

Table type	Contains fields
Collars	Hole Name, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Length, Azimuth, Inclination
Surveys	Hole Name, Depth At, Azimuth, Inclination
Traces	Hole Name, Depth At, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Azimuth, Inclination
Assays	Hole Name, Depth From, Depth To, Grade_1, Grade_2, ....Grade_15,
Lithology	Hole Name, Depth From, Depth To, Lithology
Intersections	Hole Name, Depth From, Depth To, Zone, length weighted average grades
Header	Hole Name
Interval log	Hole Name, Depth From, Depth To
Depth log	Hole Name, Depth At
Not set	None

You can view your newly created table using the Data Object Manager, before or after saving your project (select the Loaded Data control bar, and right-click the new file icon to select Object Manager...).
