Editing the alias table and settings options for application
The Alias Table dialog box will be displayed. By default the Alias information will be
stored and loaded in/from the Alias Table.ini file contained in the
...WellCAD\Program folder under the installation path of WellCAD. It is up to the
user to manage and maintain multiple alias tables stored in different *.ini files (for a
description of the format see below), but only one table can be used at a time. To
switch between Alias Tables (i.e. between *.ini files) click the Browse button and
select the new *.ini file. To combine the contents of multiple files click the Add
from… button and select the *.ini from which you want to import the information.
The content of the Alias Table file is displayed in the list control. Each row shows
the expected Name, which is the standard name to be used in the WellCAD
borehole document and the Alias names, a single or a comma separated list of
names that will be searched when importing a data file. Whenever the imported
channel name corresponds to an alias, this name will be reset to the expected name.
If a conflict of names is detected (e.g. an Alias is listed twice for two different
Names) a warning symbol will be displayed in front of the rows in question.
Adding a new Alias:
The last free row of the list control can be used to add a new entry. Simply click in
the Name or Alias cell to add information. For more comfortable editing click the
little button displayed at the end of a selected Alias cell to display an editor window.
Removing an Alias:
Right click on the entry you would like to remove and select Remove Row from the
context menu.
