Unicode Compliance

ODM3 now handles 2-byte character data, so complies with standards such as Unicode and UTF-16, and can be run in any Regional setting.

New Script Tool

Script Tool A new Script Tool (select Tools > Script tool while a Chart is open) has been added to simplify the running of scripts on wells present within a chart. This lets the user run individual scripts or batches and immediately see the results within the current chart.

Options to add a new row above and below the selected unit in the data browser - making it easier to work from the bottom up!

Database Manager - Re-order data types

Data types (e.g. Group) can now be re-ordered within data tables (e.g. Lithostratigraphy) in the Database Manager.

Previously, data types appeared in the order in which they were create.

Reports - Wells Summary

Option to add/remove project wells in the Wells Summary Report. Just right-click on a well name and choose to add a well to the active project or to remove it from the active project.

Export Reports

Report contents may be exported to text file as tab- or comma-separated values.

Option to save all wells to a single file, or create one file per well. CSV files can be opened directly in MS Excel.

Well Properties - Userfields

Names of the Userfields in the Well Properties can now be changed under Utilities > Options > Usefields. The settings applied here are applied to all wells in all projects. Note that userfields can no longer be renamed from the Well Properties dialog.

Utilities  - Well Data Maintenance

Option to remove unit prefix/suffix for a selected data type, found under Utilities > Well Data Maintenance.

You can now use wildcards in the search and replace fields of the Rename unit function.

ODM will automatically create GIS folders based on the location of the GIS file on desk (for GIS files held in a sub-folder of the ODM database folder).

A GIS folder can be dragged onto a map, automatically loading all files held therein. 

Project Browser - Re-order Wells

The display order of wells within the Project Browser (for both grouped and un-grouped lists) can now be changed.

In this example, wells are grouped by their Field name and ordered by the Well Name.

Dictionary import and export tools can now be found under the appropriate import/export buttons in the main toolbar, instead of the Organiser menu.
