Configure Survey Sets

Survey sets are used to group survey data associated with inspections. For example, you might create a survey set named 2018 Inspection Campaign or Pipeline A 2018 Inspection to organise data collected during those periods. For more information, see Survey Data Processing.

To manage survey sets, navigate to Configuration ‣ Events ‣ Survey Sets. From the Configuration - Survey Sets dialog, you can:

  • Add new survey sets

  • Edit existing survey sets

  • Delete survey sets

Standard toolbar buttons and grid functions are available in this dialog (see Using the Grid).

Create Survey Sets

In the Configuration - Survey Sets dialog, you can create survey sets in the following ways:

  • Add: Click the Add button in the top toolbar and enter a name for the survey set. Optionally, select an ROV (or pig/diver) if the survey data was captured using a specific device. This is especially important for dual operations where multiple devices recorded survey or video data simultaneously.

  • Import: Click the Import button to load survey data into the survey set (see Import Events). In the Import Survey Data dialog, click Example at the bottom to download a sample import sheet.

    Note

    For large datasets, importing from a text file (for example, tab-separated or comma-separated values) is typically faster than using Excel.

View/Maintain Survey Data in a Survey Set

In the bottom part of the dialog, you can see a list of dates when survey data was recorded. If you click on a day, you will see survey data logged on that day on the right-hand side. The grid listing each survey row is linked to the chart below, that is, if you click on a survey point in one, it will be highlighted in the other. You can multi-select, too.

From this part of the dialog, you can use the toolbar buttons to do the following:

  • Add: Add a single survey row

  • Edit: Modify selected survey rows

  • Delete: Remove selected survey rows

  • Export: Export all survey data entries for the given day

Note

Any events that were relying on those rows may not have valid survey data after your updates. If there is another row within the +3/-2 second threshold, the event will use that instead, but if not, the event may now simply have no Easting, Northing, and so on.
