User-Defined Columns

User-Defined Columns allows the user to include data in their frac jobs or plans that do not fit in the preset standardized columns of the ZoneVu Frac Stage Table. User Defined columns can be given any name. The User-Defined Column Names are Global and can be reused across a company's ZoneVu account.

Users can manage User-Defined Columns names and merge existing User-Defined Columns from the User-Defined Column Manager.

Creating Using -Defined Columns

There are two ways to create a User-Defined Column in your ZoneVu Account.

  1. Import a User-Defined Column using the Zone Frac Import Spreadsheet

  2. Create a User-Defined Column in the Frac Stage Table.

User Defined Columns in the Frac Import Spreadsheet

To Create a new User-Defined Column via the Frac Import Spreadsheet, put the desired name of the column after the bar '|' in the User-Defined Column header of the Frac Import Spreadsheet, row 2. The User-Defined Columns support floating point values (float).

Example: A User Defined Column created in the Import Spreadsheet as "User | 40/70 mesh", will be a User-Defined Column in the Frac Stage Table named "40/70 mesh".
