About the Product

The Datgel Fence and Map Tool gINT Reports is a collection of gINT reports and library objects which
provide an extensive range of data presentation options, along with dynamically generated scales bars
and legends/keys. The Tool is based on two databases structures: DGD and AGS RTA.
There are 5 major components of the Tool:
1.

Fence reports, with numerous output time user defined data presentation options

2.

Dynamic fence post legend

3.

Map reports

4.

Dynamic map key

5.

Dynamic scale bars for both fence and map reports

You need to complete the installation procedure (see Installation on page 1 before you can use the
Fence and Map Tool.

Support
12 months support and maintenance is included with the license purchase. For technical support
please email support@datgel.com or call +61 2 8202 8600.

System Requirements

Installation

1.1

Installation Overview

There are two parts to the installation process:

Choose database type

Merge gINT library objects

1.2

Package Contents

Your software purchase may have come with the following contents:

1.3

Application CD which normally has the following folders:

\gINT Files
\Documentation

Before Installation

A few basic preparations can help ensure an effortless installation.

Make sure that the computer where you plan to install the program meets the minimum
hardware and software requirements.

Note: If youre in one of the following situations, then your gINT files have been set up already and you may
proceed to Section 2.
In the trial version of the Fence and Map Tool, the library will be locked and you cannot merge any gINT
Library Objects into your Library file, or make changes to this Library file. In this case, you have to use the
locked library as-is.
Steps1.4 and 1.5 have already been completed by Datgels developers, yourself or a colleague.
If you dont have existing gINT files then you may wish to just use the example Fence and Map Tool gINT
Files provided on the DVD.

1.4

Choose and Implement a Project Database Structure

If you are already using a DGD or an AGS RTA type database then you do not need to modify your
project database structure, and should use the library corresponding to your current database structure.
If you are not already using a DGD or an AGS RTA type database and associated library then you will
have been supplied a standardised version of one of them when you purchased the Datgel Fence and
Map Tool. It is advised that you use the supplied standard database structure to create your future
project files, if you do not then the Datgel Fence and Map Tool will not work correctly.

1.5

Merge gINT Library Objects

If you have purchased the Fence and Map Tool gINT Reports, then you have full access to the library
objects, and you may proceed with the following steps to merge the gINT Library components into your
Library file.
1.

Make a backup copy of your existing library file. By default this is located at:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Bentley\gINT\libraries\

User Guide

Datgel
DFMT-UG-001 - 2.07- February 2013

IMPORTANT: If you are not already using a DGD or an AGS RTA type database and associated
library then you will have been supplied a standardised version of one of them when you purchased
the Datgel Fence and Map Tool.
When you proceed to step 2 you must select the standardised DGD or AGS RTA type database
and associated library. If you do not, the Datgel Fence and Map tool will not work correctly.

2.

Start gINT and open the library and project file you wish to use with Datgel Fence and Map
Tool gINT Reports.
The opened project and library files are displayed at the top of the gINT Window.

The Core Image Column field determines whether

to print the core photo column on the left or right
side of the fence posts. This field must be assigned
a value when the type of Core Column field is
assigned.

The Backfill field will print the piezometer column if

data is found in the Piezometer table. Otherwise, it
will print the well column from the Backfill/Well
table.
Well Area Width defines the width of the backfill
column

Note: Scr cannot be shown with SPOS. If both Scr

and SOS are checked, then Scr will be shown.

Site Map Reports

3.1

Input

If your project has a high density of PointIDs, then you may have a problem with PointID labels
overplaying on Site Map reports. By default the PointID label will display at 12 oclock, i.e. above the
data marker. You may manually override the PointID label position by setting the analogue clock
position in the project field POINT.Map_Post_Position.
For example:

3.2

6 represent 6 oclock and displays below the data marker

10:30 represents the time of 10:30 and displays to the top left the data marker

Output

Site maps of a range of page sizes and orientations have been set up, and they all operate the same
way.
Data markers have been defined for each Hole Type in the DG_COM_HOLE_TYPE library table. gINT
creates the map key based on the hole types in the given project and the info in the
DG_COM_HOLE_TYPE library table.

off, in the OUTPUT Application group by:
1.

Select the Properties button
