Connectivity

A Plan View, Data View, Section View, or Correlation Diagram can provide information to two types of graphic report:

  • If you click on a point representing a drillhole, it will position a downhole report on that hole if an active report is detected.
  • If you click inside a boundary, it can communicate the project and boundary codes to a graphic report that deals with, for example, lease summaries.

In the first case, the information sent to the drawing consists of the PROJECT code and SITE ID; in the second case, the project code and boundary (entity) code. This information is used by the Graphic Reporter to find the appropriate record in the controlling dataset, in much the same way as the "Find" function would. (In fact, it is executing the Find function using the parameters supplied by the view.)

In order for connectivity to work, a Plan View, Data View, Section View, or Correlation Diagram, and the Graphic Reporter must both be open, the Connectivity buttons must be activated on both toolbars, and the controlling dataset of the Graphic Reporter must contain a primary key that matches Find parameters you have set up in advance. You must also open a Plan View, Data View, Section View, or Correlation Diagram, otherwise the Connectivity function is not available.
