Merge User Column Dialog

From the 'Merge User Columns' dialog users can expand and collapse the list of fracs with data in the chosen Source Column. If a user highlights a frac from the collapsed list, all of the rows/stages in that frac will be highlighted. If a user expands a frac, they will be able to highlight selected rows/stages from each frac individually.

ImageExpand All

ImageCollapse All

Merge User Columns dialog columns:

  • Stage Column- which frac and stage the Source Value will come from, the Source Stage

  • Toe MD - the toe MD of the Source Stage

  • Heel MD - the heal MD of the Source Stage

  • Source Column: Name - gives the name of the Source Column (example below: red)

  • Option - Indicate the action to be taken during the merge (see Merger User Column Options below). The Frac Name Cell will show the total set of actions to be taken in each frac

  • Target Column: Name - gives the name of the Target Column (example below: Red 1)

Merge User Column Dialog Options:

All options can be applied to an entire frac at once when a frac is collapsed or by using control/shift select

  1. ImageThe 'Move' button is used to indicate which Source Values from the Source Column should be moved to the Target Column.

    • ImageThe green 'Move' option is chosen by default in the 'Options' column of the 'Merge User Columns' dialog if the Source Value to be moved will not replace/overwrite a value in the Target Column. After the merge is applied, the Source Value will be relocated to the Target Column and will no longer exist in the Source Column.

    • Imagethe red 'Move/Overwrite' option is chosen by default in the 'Options' column of the 'Merge User Columns dialog' if the Source Value to be moved will replace a value in the Target Column. After the merge is applied, the Source Value will be relocated to the Target Column and will no longer exist in the Source Column, and original Target Value will be deleted.

  2. ImageThe 'Skip' button is used to indicate which Source Values from the Source Column should be skipped and not moved to the Target Column.

    • ImageThe yellow 'Skip' option can be chosen by the user to ignore moving a source value to the Target Column. A skipped Source Value will remain in the Source Column and will not be moved to the Target Column.

  3. ImageThe 'Delete' button is used to indicate which Source Values should be deleted from the Source Column and not moved to the Target Column.

    • ImageThe black 'Delete Source Value' option can be chosen by the user to delete a value from the Source Column and not add the value to the Target Column. After the merge is applied, it will be in neither the Source Column nor the Target Column. The Source Value will be deleted.
