Set Data Mapping

 

Mapping is an important option that needs to be set in order to determine to which tables the data will be mapped in EQuIS. The data can be mapped to one of three tables in EQuIS:

 

•DT_DRILL_PARAMETER (DEFAULT). Please click on Drill Parameters Values in EDGE for details on how to set up and remap drilling parameter values in EDGE.

•DT_SAMPLE_PARAMETER

•DT_DOWNHOLE_POINT_DATA
