9. What about data not at a well?
All measured data occurs at a
“Well” and a “Screen”including
• Samples from a well
• Soil samples
• Air measurements
• Surface water measurements

Enter longitude as degrees east (in
USA longitude < 0)
Transformation of coordinates prior to
plotting to either (you choose which)
• State Plane (feet)
• Universal Transverse Mercator (meter)

15. What is Formatted Value in Observations table?
• Control over number of digits /
display of data flags …
• Populating Formatted Value
field is optional
• Used by:
• Data Tables
• Posted Values

16. What about non-detects?
Observations . Flag
• Populate with ND or < to indicate non-detect
Observations . Formatted Value
• Populate with text string as you want values to appear (e.g. <0.1u
or ND)
Some plots need a numeric value (ie. Time Charts, pie
charts, radial diagrams)
• Put value of your choice in Observations . Value
• Could be 0 or some fraction of detection limit

18. Borings and Stratigraphy
Borings
Detailed description of soil or geologic profile as would be
reported in a boring log
Plotted in 3d, on sections, strip logs, or boring logs
No correlation of units between Borings
Stratigraphy
Geologist or hydrogeologist interpretation of stratigraphic
units that would typically straddle multiple Borings records
Plotted in 3d, on sections, plus fence diagrams and geologic
models
Correlation of units between Stratrigraphy locations is
implied

26. How do I get started?
1. Let EnviroInsite do it for you
• File -> Create Database
• Elevation and North-East based (for now)
2. Copy empty files from DocumentsMy
EnviroInsite Work
• Input.xls
• input.xlsx
• input.mdb
EnviroInsite Training
27. How do I get started?
3. Borrow from DocumentsMy
EnviroInsite WorkTutorial
• Existing data can be modified and extra rows
deleted
• In Excel – be careful to delete rows (not just cells)
• May be particularly useful for boring logs
4. Export from 3rd party database such
as EQuIS or EnviroData
EnviroInsite Training
29. Populating Data Files w/o Tears
1. Populate all linking fields
EI Data
2. Populate filtering fields (e.g.
Screen.Group, Well.Class,
Screen.ID)
3. Double-check match of linking
fields
4. Assume case-sensitivity of linking
fields
Full Description of Database in EI Tutorial
Data Flow
30. Populating Data Files w/o Tears
1. Check consistency of elevation field
values
EI Data
2. Check consistency of depth field values
3. If you don‟t know what to do and it‟s
not a numeric field, enter a single
hyphen
4. If all else fails –

31. Populating MS Excel Data Files w/o Tears
1. No non-numeric data in
numeric fields

2. Preface numbers in text fields
with single apostrophe ( „8)

34. Saving Documents
• File -> Save preserves
complete session
• Document extension - vizx or
xml
• Automated Backup
• Complete file path of images /
database
• File -> Package zips all files
into single file – to simplify file
exchange
