You can define all aspects of a new table in the Create New Table dialog.
The Create New Table dialog contains options for naming the table, selecting the table type, and defining the table columns.
Enter the name of the new table in the Table Name field. The table name cannot be a duplicate of an existing table name in the project.
Select the table type from the Base Table Type list. There are eight table types: Collars, Depth, Interval, Lithology, Project Settings, Survey, Text Item, and Well Construction.
The Column List shows the pre-defined columns for the table, based on the table type you selected. The tables have a specified set of columns that are required. Each column contains:
A column name, such as Hole ID. The column name can be modified for non-required or custom columns.
An optional Column Description, that gives additional information about the column.
A Required Column option which indicates whether or not the column is required.
To add additional columns click the button. A new row appears in the Column List. Enter a name in the Modify Column Name box and an optional Column Description. It is not necessary to add additional columns in the dialog for each column in an existing worksheet, as all data in the worksheet are imported into appropriate columns.
To delete an optional column in the table, click the button. Only non-required or custom columns can be deleted.
To create the table and place it in the current project click Create. To close the dialog without creating a new table click Cancel or the X in the upper right corner of the dialog.
