Samples tables can be used to list data for selected samples as shown in the spreadsheet below. To create a new samples table for a project select File > Export > Excel Tables > Samples.. The Samples Table form will be displayed.

 

At the top of the form there are buttons for opening and saving script files. Script files are used to save the settings in a form and can be used to generate tables with similar settings.

 

Tables can be either dynamic or non-dynamic. Dynamic tables are created with the latest data every time they are opened. Non-dynamic tables are static and stored in the Datastore, these tables will show the data at the time they were created.

 

 

This form has four tabs for Data, Filter, Options, and Page Layout. The editing of the Filter, Options, and Page Layout tabs is the same as for a Borings/Wells table and is described in those sections. The editing of the Data tab is substantially the same as for the Borings/Wells table except for the following:

 

Media Type: This is used the sample media type to show in the table. In addition, all media types can be shown.

 

Media Type Data Fields: When a media type is selected the data fields specific to that media will be shown and can be selected for inclusion in the table.

 

After the information on the tabs has been entered, the Export button at the bottom of the form will export the data to an Excel spreadsheet. When the spreadsheet has been generated it will be opened in Excel.
