Add Interval Files

On the Drillhole tab, in the Database group: Select Edit | Add Interval File to add one or more Interval files to a Drillhole (or Trench) Database.

An Interval file contains information such as assays or lithology for successive intervals down each hole (or along each trench). Usually Assay and Geology data are kept in separate files though they are similar in form.

You can use the buttons on the toolbar (or use the right-click menu) to clear the list, insert rows and delete rows. Add, Modify and Remove buttons are also provided.

When you Add or Modify an Interval file or an Event file, you must specify any required fields. Optional fields may also be specified.

A Link field can also be used to link the points along the holes (or trench) to an external file (for example, to display core photos in Vizex). See: External Link Options

Ignore validation errors

The state of the Ignore validation errors check box is saved in the database, indicating that you have opted not to check the validity of the file. the application will attempt to handle the file as well as possible without raising validation errors or warnings.

All drillhole validations that incorporate a drillhole database will honour the Ignore validation errors flag. If you wish to manually validate a file without clearing the flag, you can do so via the Validate Drillhole function on the Drillhole tab, in the Validation group. This is the only function that ignores these flags altogether.
