Create New Query: Operator Name in Terms Window

Each search requires either an area to search on, a term to search on, or both.

This dialog box has the following options:

GeoVista Databases - Select the data set that you would like to search. If you want to see well or production information, select the provincial well database that will coincide with your area of interest.
Area Search - Specify the area range (From and To) that you want to search (in the NW to SE fashion), as well as which survey system to use (NTS or DLS). Alternatively, you can click <Map Area> to set the search to only the area currently displayed in the Map View, or click <Result Set> to only search a current result list. If you select none of these options and leave the area fields empty, GeoVista will search all areas associated with the data set.
Layer Group - This list displays all the folders currently on the Layer Manager tab. As well, this list has a Results Sets option (the default location to store your query results), and a New Folder option. When you click <Search> to generate your results, GeoVista stores your new layer under the folder name you selected. If you choose Results Sets, GeoVista creates a folder with that name in the Layer Manager tab, and then stores your layer in that folder. If you want to store your new layer in a different folder, type a new name in the Layer Group field.
<Map Area> - Click to populate the From and To fields, based on the viewable extents of your map.
When you click <Map Area>, GeoVista will display a message if your area spans both DLS and NTS locations.
<Result List> - Click to set your search to look through the results of a current result list on the Result List tab. If you try to import a result type that does not exist on the Result List tab, you will see a message.
Term - This window displays all the filters you added to the query, including those from <Result List> and those from <Add>. You can right-click on any filter in this window to open the Term's shortcut menu.
<Add> - Click to open the Term Builder dialog box, where you can add filters to your query.
<Edit> - Select a filter in the Term window, and then click to open the Term Builder dialog box, where you can change the filter's settings.
<Delete> - Select a filter in the Term window, and then click to remove that filter from the query.
If your filter is associated with an operatorSaskatchewan's company tops database (For example, And), you need to drag and select the filter and the operatorSaskatchewan's company tops database together before the <Delete> button will activate. When you delete a filter, you must delete its operator.
<Clear All> - Click to remove all filters from the Term window.
<List File> - Click to load a previously saved query result set.
<Save> - Click to save your current query to a folder on your PC. This is a good idea if you frequently perform the same complicated query.
<Load> - Click to load a previously saved query.
<Previous> and <Next> - Click to view other queries you made in your current GeoVista session.
<Search> - Click to perform the query.
<Cancel> - Click to cancel the query creation.
