The Description Bar object displays the geology description in the column.

To insert a Description Bar object into a column, follow the steps below:

• Select the first empty box below the column headers that the item is to be added to.
• Double click on the Description Bar in the Depth Related section of the left hand side tree view.
  
• The Description Bar will now be added and the text "[DescriptionBar]" is inserted in the cell.
  
• Define the additional properties for the object in the properties form
  • Expression - Enter a valid expression into this section to manipulate the value before it is added to the Log. A default value is added to the expression when it is added but this can be modified if required
  • HideDetailDescription - tick this item if the detailed descriptions are not to be added to the log.

The description is centrally aligned by default but it is possible to use the Alignment Area on the Design section of the ribbon to right or left align it.

Use the horizontal padding to create some space to the column border from the Padding Area on the Design section of the ribbon.
