List of Test Holes

The Test Holes page shows all the test holes of the Active Project (see how to change the Active Project).

In RSLog the term "Test Hole" is used interchangeably for borehole, drill hole, auger hole, test pit, trial pit and alike. Edit a test hole to change its Type property (Drill Hole or Test Pit)

To access this page:

Go to the left-hand navigation menu and select Data Entry & Design > Test Holes.


Site Investigation Progress

RSLog allows you to track project progress at any point of time. Because of the centralized database design of RSLog, changes made by any user is immediately made available to other users. This user could be working on field data collection using OnSite app, or accessing RSLog from the office, home or anywhere else.

The status of a test hole indicates at which phase of drilling / excavating it is. A progress bar at the top of the Test Holes page shows the site investigation progress:

Importing From a CSV File

This allows you to import the list of test holes with their top-level data (i.e. data in the test hole data entry page > General tab) from a CSV file.

Creating the CSV File

Start by creating an Excel spreadsheet containing basic data for each test hole: name, depth, type, coordinates, logger, reviewer, contractor, equipment etc. Please make sure only one header row is present in your Excel file. Save this file in CSV format and try importing it to RSLog.

Name, Depth and Test Hole Type columns are mandatory in your CSV file. Please note there are only two options for Test Hole Type property: Drill Hole and Test Pit.

Importing the CSV File

To start importing the list of boreholes:

  • Switch to the List view (table),
  • Click on the dropdown arrow on + New button, and select Import CSV File from the menu,
  • Select the CSV file and apply filtering and column mapping as required, then click Import button (see this article for CSV import help).
The first time you import the list of test holes from a CSV file, RSLog creates new boreholes and adds them to the current project. However, subsequent import of the CSV file will update data for existing test holes (e.g. to update borehole coordinates or depth), and will create a new test hole if the borehole name does not exist in the project (e.g. supplementary investigation or additional boreholes).

Please see this page for a detailed discussion of data entry for a test hole.
