Columns displayed as text can be linked to other text display columns so that the depths for the data only have to entered once. The Link Name in the Template column is used to link text columns.

 

There are several ways to edit linked text data, either:

 

•click on the text data column on the log

•double click on the text data object on the sidebar

•select Edit > Text Data Name

•or select Popup > Text Data Name

 

The menu item that will appear in the Edit, Popup, and sidebar will have the name of the column specified in the template for the log. For example, if the template specified the name of the column as "Remarks", the menu items will also be named "Remarks".This is used to distinguish between different text data columns within the same template.

 

After this the Linked Text form will be displayed. This form has three tabs; one for the text data, one for memo data, and one for line data.

 

At the bottom of the form there are buttons to Pick, Add and Delete a depth.  

 

When the Pick button is pressed you can specify the depth on the log by holding down the left mouse button and then moving the mouse to the desired depth and releasing the button. While the mouse is being moved a red line will be shown across the log at the currently selected depth.
