1 ENTERING NEW DATA
The following sections outline how to enter new data into various fields of the SoilVision database. For the
entry of new data, the user should have opened the SVSoils_MyData database distributed by SoilVision. The
SVSoils_MyData database is a blank database designed for the storage of user-specified data. Details on how to
open the SVSoils_MyData database may be found in the SoilVision User’s Manual.
1.1 PROJECT INFORMATION
SoilVision requires that each borehole and soil entered into the database be organized under a project. The
Projects form can be accessed by clicking the Projects button on the main tool bar as shown below.
Data may be entered in the Projects form by clicking on one of the tabs (Project, Client, etc.) on the form. It
should be noted that once the project is defined, it will be identified by the Project ID throughout the rest of the
program. Also, SoilVision does not allow you to specify two projects with the same Project ID. A new project
dialog box is provided to assist you in adding a new project (shown below). Click the new project icon to bring
up this dialog box. After the new project is created, you may add to or edit the project properties. You should
enter at least the information listed under Recommended Minimum Input.
