Taking Ownership of Wells
Wells in Insight have multiple components (e.g. curve sets, marker sets, time-depth pairs, etc.). Each of these components, and the well itself, can have a separate owner. Only the component owner is allowed to make changes to a component.
This helps prevent accidental modifications of the data.
When taking ownership of a well, consider whether you want to make changes to the top level well (to adjust names, datums, etc.), or to make changes to the components also.
-
Take Ownership of "..."
- Take ownership of just the top level well, allowing you to change the name, datums and defaults.
-
Take Ownership of "..." and all components.
- Take ownership of the top level well, and all components associated with the well.
