List of Templates
A “Template” holds the design of a specific report by customizing its page settings, header/footer, and log columns. There are two types of report templates:
- Figure Templates: These templates are used for the reports that are generated from Reporting > Figures menu and present data in form of maps, graphs, or tables. Examples of a Figure Template include cross section figure, test holes locations map, site location map, and photos report.
- Borehole Log Templates: These templates are designed for generating test hole logs using the Reporting > Test Hole Logs page or using the test hole preview generated on test hole data entry page.
RSLog comes with a set of default templates for borehole logs and other types of reports. These templates can be edited and customized from the left-hand navigation menu and selecting Reporting > Report Templates. The Report Templates page comprises two tabs; Each tab shows the list of all relevant templates in a table (see working with tables).

About 'Page Depth'
Page Depth determines the depth range used to generate the borehole log (e.g. 20 ft of depth on each page). The unit of the Page Depth is inherited from the unit system of the project for which the borehole log is being generated. You can change the Page Depth on General Settings section of a log template.
Sharing a Template
Templates could be shared between two RSLog accounts (e.g. by downloading a template from a DoT website):
- Importing a Template: in order to import template(s), click on the + New split button to show the dropdown menu. Click on Import Template menu and select the JSON file from your computer. Once the file is uploaded and processed, the new template(s) will be added to the list.
- Exporting a Template: Select the checkbox next to the desired template(s), then click on Export button and select Export Template menu. This will download the selected template(s) in a single JSON file that could be easily shared with other RSLog users.
