Append a Survey

Use the Append option to append a range of station numbers from another survey to the selected survey.

These instructions start with the assumption that the ISM module is already selected and the correct pipeline segments have been selected. For information detailing how to select pipeline segments, refer to Select ROWs.

Complete the following steps to append a survey with a range of station numbers from another survey (including associated survey readings):

  1. Click Data Entry > Edit ISM Data.

  2. Select a continuous survey data type.

    For example, enter 1071232 for a station number 10712+32. When you hit Tab, the number adjusts to 10712+32.
