Querying using a list

Import a list of data items (fields, gas plants, pipelines, wells, and more) from a Map window, a map or query file saved to disk, or a list of data items (such as a well list) saved in comma separated value (.csv ), text (.txt ), or Excel (.xls ) format.

Querying using a list enables you to easily import a list of data items into a query, and if importing a list of data items from a saved query file, you can also preserve historic data saved in the list by choosing not to rerun the query.

To query using a list

1. In the Query Data drop-down list, click the desired data type and in the Attribute Selector list, click Import XYZ, where XYZ is the data type you selected above.

The Criteria Selector pane displays the controls to import from a saved query or map that's either currently open or saved to disk, or to import from a list saved to disk.

2. In the Find By drop-down list, select whether to import data items from a map, query, or list and depending on your selection, complete one of the following:

Map - select a Map window that's currently open and then specify whether to query individually selected map objects, those within a polygon you've drawn on the map, or those within the map's extents
OR
Select a map that's saved to disk. If you want to reduce the data items in this list further, open the map in the Map window, and then select the desired map objects by either clicking them, by drawing a polygon around them, or by zooming in to reduce the map extents.

Query - select a query saved to disk and whether to re-run it against the EDIN database updating the data for items in the saved file,
OR
Just update the data for the data items saved in the file.

List (If using the Well data type) -click Import IDs and browse to and select a well list saved to disk in .csv , .txt , or.xls format.

The Count box displays the number of items EDIN will import.

3. Click Add to copy the criteria you specified above to the Current Criteria pane.
