The only purpose of the Dataset information is to provide an alternate method of organizing soils data.
SoilVision enforces that each soil record is organized under a Project and Borehole record. This later allows the
user to search by Project ID or Borehole ID. Similarly, having soil data organized under a Dataset ID allows the
user to search for a group of soils by Dataset ID. How this may be useful is as follows: Any firm may have all
their soils organized under their respective Project ID and Borehole ID. This firm, however, works with two
separate testing laboratories (A + B). The firm then creates a separate Dataset ID to represent each testing
laboratory. This system then allows the firm to later group together all soils tested by laboratory A even though
these soils span multiple Projects.
The user may proceed to Soils information after completion of entry of dataset information by clicking the
Soils button on the main toolbar, or by selecting the View > Soils… menu option.
