Opening the Subsurface Log Studio

The Studio layout, the six views, engineering state and reference systems.

The Subsurface Log Studio is a dedicated workspace for logging investigations. It opens in its own tab.

Getting there

Two routes:

  • Click any row in the Ground Logs register
  • From a job, open the Ground logs tab and click an existing log set, or New Log Set

The layout

Three columns:

Left — Investigation locations. Every location in this log set, with its type, depth and data counts. Click to switch between them.

Centre — the workspace. Whatever view you have selected in the top bar.

Right — Live graphical log. A continuously updating preview of the engineering log sheet for the current location. It redraws as you type, so you can see the effect of what you're entering.

The top bar

Six views:

View Purpose
Data Enter and edit the log itself
Log preview The full engineering sheet
Site plan Locations plotted by coordinate
GIS map Locations on a live basemap
Section designer Cross-sections between locations
3D model Three-dimensional view of logged intervals

On the right sit Borehole PDF, a download button, a log actions menu and the engineering state dropdown.

Engineering state

The dropdown in the top-right moves the whole investigation through:

  • Draft — being logged
  • In review — with the reviewing engineer
  • Final — approved for issue

The bottom-left corner shows the reference systems in use: GDA2020 / MGA for horizontal coordinates, AHD for levels, and metric depth. Check these match your project before issuing anything.
