User Interface

The GeoDin workspace is organized into several key components that help you manage and navigate your data efficiently. The two main options are databases and systems:

1. Databases

• The Databases panel is the starting point of your work in GeoDin.

• Each database contains Projects (Example: G1_ASTM_DEMO_LasVegas in Figure 1), and each project consists of Objects (such as boreholes/ locations and test type), Measurement Points, Documents.

1.1 Database Types

GeoDin supports Client-Server Databases, which can be hosted on a single computer or across a network.

Databases are color-coded for easy identification:

• Yellow – Network-level databases (shared by a group of users for collaboration).

• Blue – Local databases (accessible only to the individual user).

Note: GeoDin databases are based on Microsoft Access files.
