Borehole Log Reports

How to generate borehole log reports in GeoDin using templates, layouts, and the borehole log graphic element

Borehole log reports are GeoDin's primary output for documenting individual boreholes. Templates and layouts drive the report output, combining borehole description text, layer fill patterns, water levels, borehole design diagrams, data-sequence plots, test result tables, static labels, and dynamic macros into a single printable document.

Borehole element configuration

The borehole element supports three drawing types: Graphic Log, Tabular Log, and Log with Default. Elements can be resized within the layout; a red outline indicates insufficient space for the description text.

Scale options:

• Fixed ratios (e.g., 1:100, 1:200)

• Fixed depth intervals (e.g., only show the first 10 m)

• "Fit to Page" (dynamic scale per object)

A depth interval setting can force a page break — for example, setting an end depth of 10 m causes the borehole to continue on page 2. Scale, interval, page break, and fit-to-page settings interact and must be balanced together.

Each borehole with measurement data is marked with a small blue sphere icon next to it in the tree view.

Reference: Report graphic element

The following reference content is from legacy product documentation. Verify against the current version of GeoDin.

Overview

The Report graphic element displays tables with database contents or calculated reports (statistics, list comparisons, etc.). It can be inserted into an object frame multiple times. Each graphic element has a configurable element name (for identification in the tree view), a drawing layer assignment, and arrangement controls (bring to front / send to back) for overlapping elements.

Report types

Type	Description
Original data report	Shows original data in summary: tabular borehole presentations, sample overviews, measurement value tables. Nearly all data in a GeoDin database can be documented in any combination.
Report calculation	Processes measurement value data before reporting — includes list comparison, statistics, annual statistics, laboratory control reports, plausibility reports, and grain size analyses (particle size parameter, sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis).
Plug-in reports	Requires external plug-in modules. The plug-in handles all configuration and calculation; no further settings can be made in GeoDin.

Image element

The Image graphic element can be used for company logos, topographic backgrounds, and similar. Supported formats: BMP, EMF, ICO, JPG, GGF (GeoDin graphic files), PCX, PNG, TIFF, WMF. After adding, the element appears as a blue dashed frame; select the image file via the Data source settings.

Well design horizontal scale

Configure the horizontal scale for well design elements. Enter diameters for borehole and casing elements drawn at accurate scale. Options include "Constant width" (fixed maximum borehole diameter), "Centre display" (keeps the well design centered regardless of data), and percentage-based borehole widening for better display of fill patterns or staggered piezometers.
