Database and map templates – a template unambiguously
defines how the data are imported, stored, processed, presented,
and exported. If all the involved parties use the same template,
you are not likely to be surprised by date/time values presented
as integers in a database, or spend hours wondering why the Northern
half of your site is shown in a map in ARC 1960, and the Southern
half in WGS-84.
Sets of default values for databases, grids, maps, etc. –
serve as a safety net for those operations and entities not covered
by templates. If one group along the workflow chain introduces
an exotic entity, such as multi-component 3D view, using default
values, another group can easily decipher and reproduce that entity.
Quality control tool (for IP data) – helps quickly identify
and analyze invalid or questionable field data. For example, one
of the tricks IP might play is including negative potential values
in the IP curve. The minus sign in these values is not apparent
on the IP receiver screen. The montaj QC tool makes these values
stand out.
“Locking” mechanism for database columns – prevents users from making inadvertent changes to the column values. This is a foolproof method to preserve the “vanilla” field data across the numerous interpretation procedures.
