Feature |
Description |

All | Quickly move to a record where the current table has data. |
Feature |
Description |
|
| After Updating Grid Event | Pro | Allows gINT Rules procedures to be executed after the grid has been loaded or reloaded. |
| AlignmentCoorFromStaOff and AlignmentStaOffFromCoor methods | Pro | These calculate north and east from station and offset and station and offset from north and east, respectively, given an alignment. |
| CellColor | Pro | Sets the color of a cell, row, column, or all cells based on user-defined criteria. |
| FieldCaption | Pro | Given the table and field names, returns either the field Caption property or, if that is empty, the field Name property. |
| FolderDialogFnB | Pro | Exposes the internal gINT folder browser. |
| GoogleEarth Object | Pro | Exposes methods and properties to generate KML files that can display your gINT data in Google Earth. |
| On Deletion | Pro | This event has been significantly updated to handle many cases that were not handled previously. |
| RunScript method during startup | Pro | Run a script during startup to verify correct library usage. |
| Separator Line After | Pro | This property of Add-Ins allows insertion of separator lines after commands in the Add-Ins menu. |
| SoilClass | Pro | Exposes the all gINT internal soil classification functions that are available in reports for use in Input. |
| TableCaption | Pro | Given the table name, returns the Caption property. If empty, returns the Name property. |
Note that gINT Rules code can be run from all levels of gINT, but gINT Logs cannot create or edit Rules code or configurations. Therefore, all gINT Rules capabilities are designated to apply only to gINT Professional and gINT Professional Plus.
Feature |
Description |
|
| Google Earth support | All | Publish borehole data to Google Earth. |
Feature |
Description |
|
| Edit entire table | All | When marked, all the data in the table in the project will be shown in one grid allowing you to edit existing data and add new records. |
| Fill Point Sort field separately | All | When executed it fills the GintPointSort field with the numbers 1 to the number of rows in the table. |
| Tree View Navigation | All | An alternative way to view and move to different tables within Input. It displays a vertical tree view of the table structure with two levels: The group name and then the table name of each table within each group, indented under the group name. |
Feature |
