Within the Symbol Set Manager, you can Add, Edit or Delete Symbol sets. It is accessed via the Symbol Sets Icon on the System Ribbon in Template Studio. 

A Symbol set is a recurring set of symbols that can be used on grouped datasets. You must also set up a Symbol Set for any symbol that you want to use on a single data series, including a “none” option. 

The first value in the set will be used if a recurring symbol set is used on a single data series.

The Symbol Set method is best described with an example.

Symbol Set 1 ·         Red Triangle ·         Blue Square ·         Pink Circle ·         Orange Cross ·         Black Diamond

Symbol Set 2 ·         Green Circle Outline

 

If Symbols Set 1 was used for a Lab Test chart grouped on Location ID, then each location would have a different Symbol, as shown below.  If Symbol Set 2 was used then the same Symbol would be used for all locations.

Symbol Set 1 ·         BH1 - Red Triangle ·         BH2 - Blue Square ·         BH3 - Pink Circle ·         BH4 - Orange Cross ·         BH5 - Black Diamond ·         BH6 - Red Triangle ·         BH7 - Blue Square ·         BH8 - Pink Circle ·         BH9 - Orange Cross ·         BH10 - Black Diamond

Symbol Set 2 ·         BH1 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH2 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH3 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH4 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH5 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH6 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH7 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH8 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH9 - Green Circle Outline ·         BH10 - Green Circle Outline

 

Adding / Editing a Symbol Set.

Symbol Sets can be added and edited using the “Add” or “Edit” button on the Symbol Set Manager (as shown below)

Each Symbol Set has the following properties: Name, Description, and a set of symbols.  These are shown in the Set Manager form below.

When adding Symbols to a set, it is vital to use the symbols that start with the word “Chart”.  These symbols are colour-neutral and have their centre point at 0,0.  Many symbols, such as water strikes, are designed to appear above or below the insertion point have a fixed colour and will not display correctly for a point on a chart.

If your OpenGround does not have the Chart Point Symbols, they can be downloaded from Component Downloads - OpenGround Wiki - OpenGround | gINT | Keynetix - Bentley Communities

To create a “None” Style set create a new set called “none” and do not add Symbols to it as shown below.
