Production Data
The Production Data drop-down list has the following options:
- Append — adds new production data after the end of the existing production history. Abbreviated as "a".
- New — adds new production data for any dates that do not exist in the current production history. Production data is added before or after existing data. Abbreviated as "n".
- Overwrite — adds new production data and replaces production data for any dates that exist in the current production history. When this option is selected, additional options are displayed below. You can choose to overwrite the entire production history, or only the last 90 days. Abbreviated as "o".

Analysis Data
