Tips

  • Keep the number of boreholes you select for downloading under about 50. Larger selections will make the borehole selection in step 5 difficult.
  • When you open the related tables, you will start out seeing the last of the tables. The others will be displayed to the left.
  • You do not need to select all of the individual rows in the related tables before exporting. If no rows are selected, all rows will be exported.
  • When downloading the Disclaimer and Table Structure tables, select just the first record to reduce your download size.
