GEOTAB - FIELD APPLICATION

Geotab is used for the entry and validation of boring data directly on the field, on Android tablets. The data are saved in Geotec databases of SQLite type (.db3). The .db3 databases can be read directly in one of the Geotec modules or exported to Geotec databases under Access (.mdb), SQL Server or Oracle via the DBM module. Geotab is the ideal application to save transcription time, to avoid transcription errors and to do a preliminary validation to ensure that all boring data are complete before leaving the field.

1. INSTALLATION

1) Copy the file Geotab.apk on your tablet.

2) In the tablet settings, under Security, activate the option “Unknown sources - Allow the installation of apps from sources other than Play Store or Galaxy Apps”.

3) Start the installation of Geotab.apk by selecting its icon.

4) Once the installation is done, select Open.

5) Allow Geotab to access the device’s storage.

6) Allow Geotab to access the device’s location.

7) Obtain and activate your licence. See paragraph 2.

3. CREATION OF GEOTAB FOLDERS AND FILES

At the first use of Geotab, a dialog box (see Figure 1) is displayed to create the folders and files required for the full use of Geotab.

• The Geotec folder and its data, style, export and import subfolders will be located by default under /storage/emulated/0. This directory can be changed by selecting ….

• The French and English boxes are used to select the language of the files. By default, the tablet language is checked. If both languages are selected, the files in the current language will be opened the first time.

• The Template files box cannot be unchecked. The files included are:

Two style files; one specific to boreholes, the other to trenches

The patterns file Geotec8.ptn

The markers file Geotec8.mrk

These files are saved in the style folder. The borehole style and the other two files open automatically after the creation.

• The Database box cannot be unchecked. The file included is:

The Geotec_en.db3 database (and / or Geotec_fr.db3 in French).

This database is saved in a directory of the same name, under the data folder. It is automatically connected after its creation.

4.1. Licence

The Licence button opens a dialog box with information about the licence. See paragraph 2.3.


2019-08-21 Boring log

4.2. Moving and zooming

The Zoom button opens a menu with six choices.

• Full width: the log takes up the entire width of tablet, whether in portrait or landscape mode

• Full height: the log takes up the entire height of tablet, whether in portrait or landscape mode

• Zoom 50%: the log is 2x smaller than on paper

• Zoom 100% : the log has the same dimensions as on paper

• Zoom 200% : the log is 2x bigger than on paper

• Zoom 400% : the log is 4x bigger than on paper The last zoom selected is used when opening another style file or at the next use of Geotab. When the log is not shown entirely in width and / or height, it is possible to move it by touching the log with the stylus or 1 finger and moving as desired. It is also possible to adjust the zoom of the boring log by moving two fingers closer together or farther apart. The display in bitmap mode (see paragraph 4.6.10.3) is more effective for moves and zooms.

4.3. SITE query

The Site query button opens a dialog box showing all the sites defined in the connected .db3 database. By selecting a site, the log is reset and the site number is written in the toolbar of Geotab, above the DB name. The + NEW value is used to create a new site. The Site form is then opened and a dialog box asks for the site number. See paragraph 6 for the details about Site.

4.4. BORING query

The Boring query button opens a dialog box showing all the borings of the site selected defined in the connected .db3 database. By selecting a boring, the log is displayed and the boring number is written next to the site number in the toolbar of Geotab, above the DB name. If a site has not been selected, the list of borings shows those of all the sites in the DB. The + NEW value is used to create a new boring. The Boring form is then opened and a dialog box asks for the boring number. See paragraph 7 for the details about Boring.

4.5. List of forms

The List of forms button opens a menu with the choice of all entry forms of Geotab. By clicking one of the items, the corresponding form opens, showing the existing data or showing an empty form if no data has been inserted before. See paragraphs 6 to 16 for all details about each form. If no site has been selected, selecting any form opens the Site form to create one. Similarly, if no boring has been selected, selecting any form opens the Boring form to create one.



4.5.1. Opening the forms via the boring log

The forms can be opened directly by touching with a finger the desired column of the boring log. The corresponding form opens on the information touched. To open Site, touch the log header. To open Boring, touch the depth column.

4.6. Options menu

The options menu of the boring log shown in Figure 4 opens with this button.

Figure 4 – Options menu of the boring log 4.6.1. Open DB

With the option Open DB, the user navigates to the directory containing the desired .db3 database on the tablet and selects it. Geotab then opens this DB, whose name is indicated in the toolbar of Geotab above the boring log. The site and boring numbers are reset and the boring log is emptied. The Geotec_en.db3 database is created at installation in the directory of the same number, under data. When Geotab is opened, the application automatically connects to the last DB used. If the version of the database been opened is not up to date (SYS_USER), the database is updated automatically to the latest version. A message is displayed for every change made to the database. 4.6.2. Open style

With the option Open style, the user navigates to the directory containing the desired .sty style file on the tablet and selects it. Geotab then opens this style file. As soon as a query is done, the information is displayed in the corresponding columns.



The style files can be created in Geotec on Windows and copied on the tablet. Two styles are created at installation under the style directory, Borehole.sty and Trench.sty. When Geotab is opened, the application automatically connects to the last style file used. 4.6.3. Open markers

With the option Open markers, the user navigates to the directory containing the desired .mrk markers file on the tablet and selects it. When a markers file is opened, any column displaying curve points will show the designated marker of the style file. If no markers file is selected, the values of the curve points will still be present. The Geotec8.mrk markers file is created at installation. Markers files used in Geotec can also be copied on the tablet. When Geotab is opened, the application automatically connects to the last markers file used. 4.6.4. Open patterns

With the option Open patterns, the user navigates to the directory containing the desired .ptn patterns file on the tablet and selects it. When a patterns file is opened, any column showing filling pattern will display the pattern designated by the style file or the data. If no patterns file is selected, the data will be displayed textually. The Geotec8.ptn patterns file is created at installation. Patterns files used in Geotec can also be copied on the tablet. When Geotab is opened, the application automatically connects to the last patterns file used. 4.6.5. Open logo

With the option Open logo, the user navigates to the directory containing the desired image file on the tablet and selects it. If an image designated by $$logo is present in the style file used, the logo file is displayed. When Geotab is opened, the application automatically connects to the last logo file used. 4.6.6. Create project

The Create project option opens the following dialog box (see Figure 5).

The database to copy to create the new project can be:

• The empty default Geotec.db3 database, which contains all the tables and fields as well as typical values for the lists of data.

With an English or French dictionary

• Any other Geotec database, customized based on the needs (see paragraph 5.3.4).

Open the database with the … button.

The complete path will be indicated in the field next to Other. In the section Project to create:

• Enter the name of the new project.

• A subfolder with the same name will be created in the data directory.

• This subfolder will contain the database with the same name.



If the option Connect to new project is checked, Geotab will automatically connect to the new database after restarting Geotab.

Figure 5 – Creation of a new project 4.6.7. Export project

With the Export project option, the user can export a zip file containing a project’s directory, with the database, photos, drawings and log reports. Under Project to export, the list presents all folders in the data directory of Geotec. The current project is suggested by default. The path is indicated below the project name. Only one project can be exported at once. When the box Include name of parent folder is checked, the zip file includes the parent folder, with all its files inside. When the box isn’t checked, the zip file includes the files only. The zip file can be exported to an FTP or FTPS (implicit TLS) account or to an Email account, depending on the radio button selected. In the FTP or FTPS (implicit TLS) account section, all values must be entered.

• Host: enter the domain name

• Host directory: enter the directory where the zip files will be exported to

• Port: enter the port

• Login: enter the username

• Password: enter the password In the Email account section, enter the destination email. To keep the connection parameters, select the box at the bottom of the window. The password will be hidden.



Figure 6 – Export a project When you touch Export, the zip file is created and saved in the export directory under Geotec. The zip file is named Project-date-time.zip. The same zip file can be exported several times via FTP, FTPS or email while the window remains open. 4.6.8. Generate report

With the Generate report option, a PDF file of the current boring log is created and saved in the project directory. The file is named SITE_BORING_date-time.pdf. For Android versions 4.4 or older, a PNG file is generated. By checking the box Send by email, applications available on the tablet will be suggested to send the generated boring report. 4.6.9. Reinstall Geotec

The option Reinstall Geotec opens the Creation of Geotab folders and files, as shown in Figure 1. All default template files (see paragraph 3) can be recreated. 4.6.10. Parameters

The Parameters option opens the window shown in Figure 7.



Figure 7 – Parameters 4.6.10.1. Language

All menus, options, messages and labels of Geotab can be displayed in French, in English or automatically in the language set in the tablet (default option). If the tablet’s language is neither English nor French, English will be used.

4.6.10.2. Orientation

The application can be forced in Portrait mode, Landscape mode or can change orientation automatically (default option). 4.6.10.3. Bitmap mode

With the display in bitmap mode, an image of the log is taken. Moving and zooming on the boring log is faster. This is the default mode. If the display in bitmap mode is not activated, the report is redisplayed after each move or zoom. The resolution of the log is greater but the display is slower. 4.6.10.4. Field format

With the display of the field format, each field in the entry forms without a value will show in gray the format of the values to enter. If the box is not checked, the fields without value will be completely empty. Some examples:

t(6) text with 6 characters maximum

N(3) integer with 3 figures maximum

N(7.3) decimal number of 9999.999 maximum value (7 figures including 3 decimals)

N(.3e) number with 3 decimals in scientific format. Enter the value in decimal numbers; it will be converted to scientific format

D(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM) date with its format

4.6.10.5. Depth scale


2019-08-21 Entry forms

The depth scale for the boring report can be imposed by the user, or the one of the style file (default option). The scale of the style file is indicated in parentheses next to the label. 4.6.10.6. Automatic calculation of X and Y coordinates

When the automatic calculation is checked, the calculation of the easting (X), northing (Y) and zone is done when the GPS location button is touched in the Boring entry form. Otherwise, only the longitudes and latitudes are retrieved by touching the location button. See paragraph 7.1. 4.6.11. About

About opens a dialog box with information about the version of Geotab. The files connected are also indicated.

5. ENTRY FORMS

5.1. Information in the title bar of the entry forms

5.1.1. Home and back

The home button automatically saves data that were inserted or modified and returns to the log, which shows the changes. The back button of the tablet has the same function. If the changes cannot be saved, for example if a required data is not entered or if saving would create a duplicate, a message is displayed. You can either correct the data or cancel the modification (see paragraph 5.3.3). 5.1.2. Site and boring numbers

The current site and boring numbers are indicated in the title. All changes are done for this boring. To modify the data of another boring, you must select it from the toolbar of the boring log (see paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4). If the boring has not been selected yet, the Site form only shows the site number. Opening any other form requires the creation of a boring. 5.1.3. Number of records

In the SAMPLE and PIEZOMETER forms, the total number of samples or piezometers in the current boring is indicated. In the MORE TABLES form, the number of records for the selected table is indicated. The position of the current record is also indicated. This position is based on the alphabetic order; it has no effect on the data.

The virtual order of the forms, from left to right, is Site - Boring - Sample - Stratigraphy - Vane Test - Pen Test - Piezometer. Any modification is automatically saved when swiping. 5.5.2. Required values

In all the forms, at least one field is required. These values are indicated by an asterisk. If no value is present in a required field, the record cannot be saved. The required values make each record unique. If a value in a required field would create a duplicate, it is not possible to save either. 5.5.3. Lists in date fields

For all date fields, this button opens the date editor of Android. By clicking OK, the date and time are inserted, without the seconds. 5.5.4. Lists of values

The fields with this button have a list of values or a list that can be created. First, the list gets the records available in the LIST_ENG or LIST_FRE table, whether Geotab is used in English or French (see paragraph 4.6.10.1). If there are records for the corresponding table and field, they will be displayed in the list of values. The scrolling list shows the values, on the left, and their description, on the right. It is the value that is inserted in the field. Secondly, if no records are found in the tables of lists, the list is populated with the values entered for the same field in other records of the database.



Figure 12 – Adding values in the lists The + NEW option is always present at the top of the list. This option is used to add values for the current field in the LIST_ENG or LIST_FRE table, depending on the language of Geotab. The dialog box shown in Figure 12 is displayed. You must enter a value and description. By touching OK, the value and description are added to the list of values and the value is entered in the field. ** If the point (.) is used as value, it is the description that is entered in the field. **. 5.5.5.
