Creating a Dataset

You can group boreholes by creating a Geoscience dataset (GDS).

Before you begin: You must have the following roles:
  • Geology Modeler
  • Collaborative Business Innovator
  • Collaborative Industry Innovator

Opening a Dataset
  1. From the Boreholes section of the action bar, click Create Dataset.
  2. On the Create Geoscience Dataset form, enter the name of the dataset in the Name field.
    The Geoscience Dataset dialog box appears in which you can add the dataset using the filter constraint functions. See Editing Parameters.
  3. From the list, select the Borehole Name or Max Depth options and enter the corresponding Operator or Value.
  4. Optional: If you want to delete a row in the table, click cancel that is located in the last column.
  5. Optional: To use a georeferenced polygon. Specify a polygon in a supported format while optionally adding the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) code for the geometry, to create the GDS query. You can:

    • Add a polygon without a CRS that can only constrain boreholes without CRS.
    • Add a polygon with a CRS that can constrain two types of boreholes:
      • That share the same CRS with x and y collar attributes.
      • That contains different CRS, so that the geometry is converted into a global CRS for boreholes with CRS.
    Note: You can attach only a single georeferenced polygon in the GDS query expression.

    1. In the drag-and-drop pane below the Data grid view, drag-and-drop a WKT or an SDM geometry file only.

      For a WKT geometry, define only single polygon geometry only. For example, POLYGON((x1 y1, x2 y2...)), "Any WKT that does not define a single "POLYGON" geometry will be rejected."

      Note: You can also click the drag-and-drop pane, and then browse and select the geometry file. If a geometry file is not referenced, an error message appears.

      The file is uploaded and three columns appear below the pane: Identifier, Horizontal CRS, and Target Global Collars. The value in the Identifier displays the name of the geometry file that you uploaded and is read-only.

      You can click cancel at the end of the row to remove the geometry file and add a new row if required.

    2. In the Horizontal CRS field, enter the valid EPSG code of the horizontal CRS geometry.

      Note: If you add a WKT geometry file, the CRS information may not exist within the file. If the horizontal CRS information is not entered, the GDS query is only executed for boreholes that do not have horizontal CRS.

    3. Switch on Target Global Collars? to select the global collar position information of the borehole with which they want to perform the GDS query. The query ignores boreholes that do not have a global query position. If this switch is not enabled, the geometry will target the X and Y collar position as specified in the import mapping of the imported data.
    4. Click OK.
      The geometry file is uploaded with the horizontal CRS and targeting collar information.
    5. From the list, select the Collar Location option and click the Add Filter icon.

      Note: Attach a georeferenced polygon to the GDS query. If the polygon is not attached to the query, an error message appears.

      The collar location is added to the Data grid view below. The default value for the Operator of the specified collar location is Within for all boreholes in the geometry.
      Note: You can specify Not Within for the Operator value for all boreholes outside the geometry.

A GDS is created which you can open and use in other processes, like interpretation.
