Edit Well Formation Tops

GeoVista gives you the option to edit well formation tops to your preference. When you save your tops, GeoVista copies your changes in your user tops database, so that you can quickly retrieve you tops information or share your tops data with other users. The following steps show you how to edit a well's formation top.

• To proceed, have your systems administrator configure your user tops database. Read more

1. Launch GeoVista, and open a session with a well layer. (You may need to create a query. Read more)
2. Right-click on a well result in the Object Manager bar's Result List tab, and select Edit User Tops.

• Alternatively, you can click <Edit User Top> from within a ticket.

4. Click <Yes> to copy the well's formation top data into your user tops database.
5. Make changes in the Edit User Defined Tops dialog box. After each change, press <Enter> on your keyboard. When you are finished, click <Save Tops> to apply your changes to your user tops database, and <Close> to return to the ticket.
6. The next time you look at the formation tops in this well's ticket, you will see your changes identified with your author abbreviated name.

• If you do not see your formation top, it may be because your author name is not selected in the User Preference dialog box, or because you selected the Use Order of Precedence check box, but your name is not the highest in the list. Click <User Preference> and adjust your settings.
