### 2. Defaults

The **Defaults** tab in the **Configuration** menu allows you to define values that will automatically populate forms during data entry. This helps save time and ensures consistency across projects.

You can set the following default values:

* **Foreman/Leader/Logger** – Name of the person supervising or logging the drilling.
* **Assistant/Enabler 1 & 2** – Names of assistants involved in the drilling process.
* **Rig Number / Pit Method** – Identifier for the drilling rig or pit method used.
* **Vehicle/Vessel** – Name or ID of the vehicle or vessel associated with the project.
* **Unit System** – The available options are:
  * **Metric**
  * **US Customary**
  * **US with Decimal Feet**
* **Local Coordinate System** – Select the code for your local coordinate system as per the project.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Setting these defaults ensures that forms are pre-filled with standard values, reducing manual input and minimizing errors.
{% endhint %}

### 3. Backups

GeoDin Onsite includes an **automatic backup feature** to protect your work and minimize data loss. This feature can be enabled in the **Backups** tab of the Configuration menu.

#### **3.1 How Backups Work**

* When enabled, the system creates timed backups of your active form at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 seconds or every 2 minutes).
* Each backup is stored in a designated folder and up to **10 versions** are retained by default.
* This ensures that if you make a mistake or need to revert to an earlier version, you can easily restore your work.

#### **3.2 Enable Backups**

1. Go to **Configuration** → **Backups**.
2. Check **Do timed backups** to enable the feature.

#### **3.3 Configure Backup Settings**

* **Interval**: Set how often backups occur (e.g., `00:05:00` for every 5 minutes).
* **Backup Folder**: Choose where backups are stored (default: `[AppData]\GeoDin.Onsite\`).
* **Versions to Keep**: Define how many backup versions to retain (e.g., 6).

{% hint style="info" %}

#### **Notes:**

* Backups run automatically; no need to press **Save**.
* Forms are saved when closed or when the program exits.
* Naming convention: **Location Name + Form Code + Date**.
* Older forms remain accessible via **Load Local**, allowing you to retrieve previous work.
  {% endhint %}

1. Navigate to **Tools** in the main menu.
