Layout

The layout tab allows you to configure the header and body layout of the report, before it is saved. This tab is divided into two parts. You configure the header layout of the template using the facilities provided to the left hand pane of the tab, and that of the body layout using the facilities of the right hand side of the tab.

Header layout

The header layout in the template determines the header in any report generated using the template.The individual items comprising the header are listed in the Header Layout pane. The toolbar adjacent to the pane enables you to manage the contents of the pane. The options provided are:

• Add an assay measurement (if available) to the header section. The assay measurement will be commented out and not used in the LP model. If no assay measurement for the property has been entered the entry in the report will be blank. In the dialog which appears select the property from the drop-down list in the Property field. Select a cut from the drop-down list in the Cut field, or alternatively type the initial and final cut points in the Cut field. If required select the correct unit from the list in the Unit field. Measured values for individual cuts must be requested using the original IVT and FVT of the assay measurement.

• Add a recut value calculated from the generated crude description. The recut value will be commented out and not used in the LP model. In the dialog which appears select the property from the drop-down list in the Property field. Select a cut from the drop-down list in the Cut field, or alternatively type the initial and final cut points in the Cut field. If required select the correct unit from the list in the Unit field.

• Add items to the header layout. In the Choose Header Fields to Add dialog that opens, tick the check boxes adjacent to names of those fields you wish to appear in the template header. To prevent a field from appearing in the template header, clear the check box adjacent to the field name.

  

• Add comment lines above or below any property block. You can type comments into the empty white lines created, preceding them with asterisk (*) if you wish them to appear as comments in any report generated using the template.

• Remove any previously added line. Select the line in the header layout list and press this button or the Delete key to remove the line.

• and Move any header layout item up or down in the sequence, respectively. The ordering of items in the Header Layout list reflects the order in which they will appear in the header of any report generated using the template.

  

Body layout

The body layout in the template determines the body in any report generated using the template. The individual items comprising the body are listed in the Body Layout pane. The toolbar adjacent to the pane enables you to manage the contents of the pane. The options provided are:

• Add comment lines above or below any property block. You can type comments into the empty white lines created, preceding them with * if you wish them to appear as comments in any report generated using the template.

• Remove any previously added comment line. Select the line in the Body Layout list and press this button or the Delete key to remove the line.

• and Move any property block up or down in the sequence, respectively. The ordering of items in the Body Layout list reflects the order in which they will appear in the header of any report generated using the template.

When you have completed configuring the head and body layout of the PIMS template, press the OK button. This closes the wizard and returns you to the Planning Template Manager. The new or edited template will be seen in the template list, and is now available for use in report generation. See Planning tool reports.
