Event

The EVENT table includes all sampling locations (synonyms are site or station). Double click on an event label will open the event window showing its metadata fields and the list of data series available. Analytical data mostly are georeferenced and related to an event. In case an event does not have a position, it could be imported with values -999.999 in the fields latitude and longitude. In this case, position will not be shown in the metaheader.

When ever the related data are georeferenced, the event label and latitude/longitude are mandatory. Event labels must be unique and do not contain blanks. This can be ensured by combining the station numbers with the campaign label, using an underline to join (e.g. Taymyr97_3). Several events can be group through a Site.

A single event can be defined directly without import list by starting from the campaign level. Otherwise use the import form and import via Menue File/Import, choose Sites/Events.
