Searching and Viewing GAD

Each GAD object has a Details page on the system with the following information:

Details - Shows all metadata for the object.
Location - Shows partially located attribute of all GAD objects (except for activities). Contains option to view the object on the map.
Associated Objects - Shows summary grids of any associated objects and allows you to view their object details.
Activities - Shows time-stamped actions taken on any GAD object.
Attached Files - Shows any files attached to the object or any related child objects. E.g. a Condition Set would show any files attached to its related Condition Items.
Audit log - Shows the complete history of the GAD object.

From the Details page on the system, you can:

View all the information about an object stored on the system, including any Attached Files.
Edit the information, and view historic versions to understand changes over time.
Access the details page for associated objects, and Create new associated objects.
Approve, Delete or Archive the object, as appropriate.

The various ways you can find and navigate to the details page for an object are described below.

Summary Grids

The Summary Grids list all the objects which you have access to view, alongside some key details.

You can access Summary Grids for the main GAD objects (Assets, Items and Sets) at Main Menu > Geotechnical.

Filter and sort the full grid on the various fields to find the particular object(s) you are interested in.

To view the details page for an object, select it and click View ... on the command bar. For example the button to view inventory items is View Inventory Item.

To toggle whether Archived objects are included in the grid click Include Archived on the command bar.

You can export the currently filtered grid of objects as a CSV for analysis outside of the system by clicking Export to CSV on the command bar. See here for further guidance on this tool.
