Adding a Layout Theme

A layout theme is a group of fields that determine which fields are available for use in the Information and Maintenance data grid of Edit ROW Detail. Adding a new Layouts theme allows you to choose which fields to include in the data grid and then save the layout as a theme for later use.

Important: If you are working with the optional Telluric Compensation feature, you can add a layout theme that includes the required field Telluric Compensation Required. This field must be enabled in the Information data grid of Edit ROW Detail for each pipeline segment requiring telluric compensation.

To add a layout theme for the Information or Maintenance data entry grid in Edit ROW Detail, follow these steps:

1 Select one or more pipeline segments in the Select ROWs window. Click

Save to close the window (Figure 4-31).

2 Click Data Entry > Edit ROW Detail to open the Edit ROW Detail window. If you want to collapse the Selected ROWs panel to view more of the Edit ROW Detail grid, click Selected ROWs. To expand the panel, click Selected ROWs again (Figure 4-32).

3 To add a layout theme for the Information grid, click the Information tab

if the grid is not visible. Click the Maintenance tab

to display the Maintenance grid if you want to create a layout theme for this grid.

4 Click the Customize tab

then

Add to open the New Layout Theme dialog box. The following figure shows an example when adding a layout for the Information grid (Figure 4-33).

5 Type a name for the layout theme in the field Enter Theme Name. If you want to create a public theme, click the Public check box to place a check mark inside the check box. When the check box is empty, the layout saves as a private theme.

Note: Themes are either public or private. A public theme is available for use by all PCS Axis users. A private theme is available only to the user who creates it.

6 Select a layout theme with fields you want to copy to the new layout theme. Click the Copy Content check box and then click the down arrow in Copy Fields From Theme and select a theme in the selection list.

7 Click

OK to save changes and return to the Layouts page (Figure 4-34).

8 Complete the following steps in the Layouts page to add and remove fields in the new layout theme as needed:

a Click the toggle arrow

for a field category in the left pane of the window to view a list of fields available for selection. For example, click

All Fields.

b Double-click a field listed in the left pane to move it to the right pane. Repeat this step as needed. The grid layout theme includes all fields listed in the right pane of the Layouts page.

c If telluric compensation is required for the selected pipeline segment(s), add the field labeled Telluric Compensation Required in the layout theme.

d To remove a field in the layout theme, double-click a field listed in the right pane to move it to the left pane. Repeat this step as needed.

Note: Fields with a lock icon

are required and cannot be removed from the theme, such as

ROW Code shown in the previous example (Figure 4-34).

9 To change the order of fields listed in the right pane and subsequently in the grid, click and drag a field to a new position in the list. Or, select a field and then click the
