Creating or editing an auxiliary information group

When you add auxiliary information to already existing auxiliary information (right-click on the auxiliary information and select Add from the context menu), that data will be grouped auxiliary information. You can recognize grouped auxiliary information by the title and the icon that are used.

The Auxiliary Information Group form that opens when you add auxiliary information to auxiliary information, allows you to add any kind of auxiliary information to the group. The form is divided in three sections, see image below. The options on the form vary depending on the object to which the auxiliary information is added, and what type of information you are adding or editing.

Upon opening the form, the default name (Auxiliary Information) that is given to the auxiliary information group is already filled in. If you are adding the auxiliary information to a wellbore, depth scale en depth are also available. You can change the name of the group by clicking in the Name entry field, and then typing the name of choice.

Next, you use the Auxiliary Information table to add the type of auxiliary information needed. Upon opening the form, auxiliary information of the type note is preselected, and highlighted in blue. Use the toolbar options to add more (note) items to the group or delete items from the group.

You can adjust the settings for the highlighted auxiliary information in the settings section.
