The Sample Project
Project Details Page
When you hit save on the Client Information page, you should automatically be taken to the Project Details Page. The start of a project is the only time LoopLink will redirect you to a new page after you click save. From now on you will remain on the same page but the save successful (or an alert) notification will appear at the top.
Notice that your project name, client name and client phone number now appear at the top right of the work area. Now if you need to call your client about some missing information, the number is right there so you don’t have to go hunting.
Also, your bin data state should have auto-populated with the client’s state. The two are independent but more often than not they will be the same so we thought we would just fill that out for you.

if you have any questions about the information you are entering. The help files cover more than just how to use the software. There are some useful reminders of what some of the acronyms and industry terms mean as well.
Now that you have saved your values into this page you can see that we weren’t lying, we aren’t going to push you around anymore. Feel free to design the system in the order that makes the most sense to you.
Also note that the Right Side Bar now has some links available. Feel free to click on any of them now. Just come back to the project details page when you are ready to continue with the project.

Besides being more fun than reading the value from a table this interactive map is quick and easy. Just highlight a temperature line that is geographically close to your location and click. The map will close and the temperature data will be updated in the Deep Earth Temperature field. If you want to close the map without selecting a temperature click anywhere on the screen besides over a land mass. NOTE: The line closest to your target area may no be the best choice every time. The map is a general guide. If you know the local DET, enter it manually. |
