Introduction

WinLoG Field Assistant is used to create and print boring and well logs and manage boring and well data. The program can be used on tablets that use the Android operating system. The user interface has been specifically designed to make data collection easier on tablets.

Borehole and well data in WinLoG Field Assistant are stored in projects. Each project represents a discrete area for data collection and can hold any number of boreholes and wells. Boring, borehole and well logs can contain optional headers and footers and a large variety of depth related column data. Templates are used to control the layout and formatting of the log. A wide variety of templates are available for download to use in the program. To download your own custom templates, you will need to have the network version of GaeaSynergy or have them created by GAEA Technologies.

WinLoG Field Assistant can be used independently or as a field extension of the WinLoG/GaeaSynergy application. All of the data is stored on the tablet and the logs can be printed directly from the tablet. WinLoG Field Assistant can be used completely independently of WinLoG and does not require any other software.

When used in conjunction with the network version of WinLoG/GaeaSynergy, WinLoG Field Assistant can act as a remote data collection device for boring and well data. The data collected in the field can be sent to the network as an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) file. In addition, boring and well creation tasks can be automatically sent to personnel using WinLoG Field Assistant. The GaeaSynergy Network Data Manager service will automatically download the data from the FTP site and merge the data with the main database on the server.
