Editing Locations
The edit tab is used to create, read, update, and delete locations.

If the edit tab iis clicked after the convert tab has been used to do a conversion then all fields in the edit panel are cleared. The location type and location grid are set to the last conversion used. If there is no last conversion, as happens when Locator is first started, then the edit panel is not modified.

If the edit tab is clicked after the find tab, and an entry in the find panel output table has been selected, then that entry is used to populate all the fields in the edit panel. If more than one entry is selected then the first is used to populate the edit panel. If no entry is selected then the edit panel is not modified.

Grid Type
When the Grid Type is selected the Surface Grid and Downhole Grid are converted to that format. If these fields are empty then any values they are set to must be in the format specified by Grid Type.

Surface Grid and Downhole Grid
When the Surface Grid or Downhole Grid fields are set and the cursor moved off that field and clicked elsewhere then the Surface Lat/Lng and Downhole Lat/Lng fields will be computed.

Location Name
To set the Location Name click the yellow sweeper. The Location Name is set to the concatenation of the Company, Grid, and Location Type. These are separated by dashes. The Location Name can be edited after the yellow sweeper is clicked. The Location Name can also be set to any value, without using the yellow sweeper,  by editing the text.

Elevation and Pressure
When the Elevationfield is set and the focus is shifted to another field the Pressure field will be calculated. The Elevation unit is 'm' and Pressure unit is 'kPa'. The Elevation needs to be in the range 0 to 5000 m. The formula used is Pressure = 101.56 - 0.0113 * Elevation.

URL
To go to a URL click the green arrow. The default browser is opened with the URL in the text box. A list of URLs can be entered in the text box. Press the return key after entering a URL to enter it into the list. Use the drop-down list to view all the URLs. To delete a URL select it in the drop-down list and click the red scissors. All entries in the list will be saved when the location is stored using the 'Save' button. See the URL Format topic for details.

Save Button
When the Save button is clicked the User field is set to the name of the user in the preferences and the location is saved. The last modified date is set in the database record to the current date and time.

Clear Button
When the Clear button is clicked all fields are reset. The Grid Type is set to 'DLS'. The Data field is set to 'Public'. The User field is set to the value in the preferences.

When the Delete button is clicked the location is removed from the database.
