This section will not go in to too much detail. Most of the functionality regardind strips (data presentation, different types of presentation, etc) can be found here. 

Once you select Create for a strip you are presented with a pop up window to select grid size.

Depth Columns

The Depth Columns Window is where you set the strips up: the text in the header, the width, etc. Note for strips the Strip Set Column is grayed out as it already is a strip set. The Strip Set Column is for use on Master templates as noted here. 

From here on out the strip can be treated as any strip on a log, using the same depth related elements found along the left hand side of the window to display data. The how to's on this are found here. 

Header Height

It is recommended to use a small grid size, which means 1mm by 1mm. All dimensions at this time are about paper space, and not data units. For those of you in the US, the mm is used because an inch does not divide well and decimal places get long quickly. 

Immediately after chosing your grid size and selecting OK, a Depth Columns pop up window appears. This is where you decide the number of columns and the general height of a depth header and the column width.

Top Tip: It is best practice to make the depth header in strips the same intended height as on the Master Template. This is because there can be many variables such as  number of header levels as often found with Atterberg limits, legends, etc. Be consistent and you can avoid complications. 

Grouping

As mentioned, strips can be one or more depth related data and their headers. When, you may ask, when would you group items together?

One scenario is when, as shown with the Atterberg Limits, three data types share a header. These items must be grouped together in a single strip as they share a Level 1 header. 

Graphs with multiple data sets on them are a single column and require only one strip.
