Step 2: Project Setup
In this step, the goal is to create individual project(s). The primary objective in this step is to get all the historical information loaded for the project. Information like sample locations, well construction details (if any), historical field data, historical lab data, site maps, and other images like cross-sections, etc... We will then locate the sample locations/monitoring wells on each of those maps and/or images.
Starting A New Project
If you haven't already done so (previously covered in Step 1) you will enter basic site information (name of the project, address, etc..) about the project.

Upload Sample Locations/Well Construction Data
Sample locations and/or well construction details and information can be entered either individually one at a time, or via a bulk “drag and drop” upload feature.

Add Maps/Images to Your Project
You can upload an unlimited number of base maps, cross-section images, aerial photographs, and other types of graphics that you want to present and/or map your sampling data on. Please note you can have multiple copies of the same image and show different data on each image. For instance, you may want one image to represent upper aquifer monitoring well locations and a copy of that same image represent lower aquifer monitoring while locations, or any combination thereof.

Uploading Lab Data
We've created the ability for you to upload your historical laboratory data fairly simply. If you have historical lab data for your project, feel free to upload all of your data. There is no charge to upload historical lab data.

Selecting or Adding Your Lab
If you have a preferred lab already selected, we will show you how to select your lab or add your lab if they are not already added. Laboratory participation is not required. All lab chain-of-custodies can be turned into paper documents quickly and easily. Labs not currently participating simply do manual data entry from the paper documents as they always do. At minimum, having the lab participate so that you can select from their lab analytical parameter menu is helpful. Feel free to invite your selected lab and remind them that lab participation is free.
