Borehole Logging checks each hole while you work. The Checks pane lists what is missing or wrong. Fix the checks before you print or issue the log.

- In the bottom panel, click Checks. The number after Checks is the number of errors and warnings.
To show the bottom panel, click View › Bottom panel, or press Ctrl+J. You can also click Hole › Checks.
Go to the problem
Click a check. The app opens the table, selects the row and the cell, and you can fix it. For a check about the hole's header, the app opens the details or the full header at the field.
When you fix the problem, the check goes away.
