The **drilling log** is automatically generated from the data recorded in BoreDoc relating to the construction site and the individual borehole. No separate data entry is required specifically for this document.

To ensure a complete drilling log is generated, the relevant data must be entered in the designated fields.

The content is derived in particular from the following sections:

- **Construction site (drill site)**: General details such as the construction site name, address, client, contractor and the site number are maintained in the master data for the drilling site.
- **Drilling**: Technical and organisational data such as description, location (coordinates), drilling rig, starting point and performance period are recorded directly for the respective drilling operation.
- **Drilling sections**: The actual content of the drilling log, e.g. depth ranges, tools used, methods, drilling fluid or casing, is recorded via individual drilling sections. Different parameters can be stored for each section, which are presented as a table in the document.
- **Technicians**: The signature displayed in the document is automatically taken from the stored technician data.
- **Legends**: Abbreviations and explanations, e.g. regarding drilling methods or tools, are generated by the system and do not need to be maintained manually.

The **drilling sections** are particularly crucial to the quality of the drilling log. This is where the actual drilling process is documented.

Maintenance guidelines:

- Record drilling sections in full and in a technically logical order.
- Check whether the master data for drill site and the borehole are already complete.
- Use structured entries for methods, tools and other characteristics where these are available.
- Please note that changes to the underlying data areas will immediately affect drilling log.

If you wish to maintain the general data for the drilling station or the borehole first, please refer to the help texts ****Editing drill site** and **Master data for a borehole**.
