Configuration

1. Changing Standards

To change the standard used in GeoDin Onsite:

1. Navigate to Configuration.

2. Select Integration from the menu.

3. Under Geo-data delivery section, select the ⚙️ button

4. In this section, you can choose which standard to apply.

   • This version includes five available standards.

   • You can also select the relevant description types associated with each standard.

   

Important: Once a standard is applied and the project is active, it cannot be changed retroactively. Ensure you select the correct standard before proceeding with data entry.

Tip: If the tab is locked, you will receive the below error. Check for any open forms and close them before proceeding.

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.

Tip: Setting these defaults ensures that forms are pre-filled with standard values, reducing manual input and minimizing errors.

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).

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.

3.4 Accessing Backups

To restore a previous version of your data:

1. Navigate to Tools in the main menu.

2. Select Restore.

3. Browse the list of available backup files and choose the specific project.

4. Inside the project, you’ll see all saved versions.

5. Select the version you want to restore and confirm the action.
