Add files

Select Version of EA Desktop:

The New Item Catalog module has a couple of options for adding a file to Exploration Archives during the cataloging process:

  • Drag and drop
  • Add files or directory options from the grid menu

Files are any form of consumable seismic product and are available online, offline or nearline.

Depending on your company workflow, the files could originate in a staging directory on your desktop computer, or in another designated location.

Note:

Adding a file to Exploration Archives auto-generates a File ID in the Files grid. At the same time, the original file in the originating directory will be renamed with the File ID appended as a prefix to the name.
