1. Introduction
The Carry Over page allows users to configure and manage carry-over values for various instruments across different revisions. These values ensure continuity in data collection by transferring key parameters such as force, pressure, or level measurements from one interval to the next.
2. Page Navigation
Sign in to GeoSens.
Click on left-hand corner icon 'Setting', click to expand 'INIT | REV | CALI | DATA'→ click REV.Carry Over.
This page consists of three main sections:
Carry Over Bulk-Import Bar: select instrument type and add missing Carry Overs.
Carry Over Data Table: view and manage Carry Overs details.
Function Bar: edit, export, delete, or copy Carry Overs.
3. Instrument Revision Carry Overs Bulk Importing Bar
This section lets users add missing Carry Overs, overwrite existing ones, or clean and re-import default revision Carry Overs—by instrument type, specific instrument name, or revision number.
NOTE: Instrument revision Carry Overs—used for analysis, calculations, and graphing in Geosens—are pre-configured at the global level. This section allows bulk-importing these defaults into a project for a specific instrument type or name, ensuring consistency and saving setup time.
How to use the function for CarryOver bulk-editing
Select a Project Instrument Type (Dropdown): Choose the type of instrument (e.g., Electric Anchor Load Cell).
Instrument Name (Textbox): Enter the name of the instrument if necessary to narrow down the results.
Revision (Textbox): Input the revision number to filter carryovers records by version if necessary.
Action Button:
Add Missing: adds carryovers that are expected but not yet present for the selected instrument and revision.
Overwrite: replaces existing carryovers values with updated ones for the selected instrument and revision.
Clean & Re-import: removes current carryovers and reloads the default revision carryovers based on the instrument type, name, and revision number.
Update (Button): Applies changes made in the editable fields.
NOTE: Please use Overwrite and Clean & Re-import with caution—these actions are irreversible. Add Missing is the safest and most commonly used option.
4. Parameter Data Table Introduction
4.1 Field Introduction
This grid displays carry-over data for instruments and supports inline editing of certain fields.
Column | Description |
Instrument Type | Type/category of the instrument associated with the parameter. |
Instrument Name | Unique identifier of the instrument. |
Revision | Indicates the revision number of the parameter configuration. |
Carry Type | Specifies whether the carry-over value is
|
Carry Code | System-defined internal code for the parameter. |
Carry Name | Displaying name for the parameter (e.g., force, pressure, level, etc.). |
Carry Value | The numeric value used during carry-over operations. This field is editable if the carry type is manual. |
Notes | Optional text for remarks or annotations about the parameter. |
Note: High-level fields like Instrument Type, Instrument Name, and Revision No. are non-editable. Only carry-over fields—Carry Type, Carry Code, Carry Name, Carry Value, and Carry Text Value—can be edited.
4.2 Additional Information Column
Additional columns can be dragged and dropped from the column chooser '
' into the data table to customize the view and add more information.
Prop Code: Unique code representing a specific parameter of the instrument for internal System use.
4.3 Filtering and Sorting
Filtering Function
Click on the filtering icon ‘
’, type in the key words to narrow down records, tick on one or multiple items in the list to apply the filter.
Sorting Function
Click on column headers to sort your data.

5. Function Bar (Top Right)
This section provides introduction to each function.
Feature | Description |
Edit Grid | Enables inline editing of fields such as Carry Type and Carry Value. |
Export  | Allows users to export the displayed data in an Excel file.
|
Delete | Tick to select an existing row of instrument CarryOver. Click on 'Delete' to delete entries (only enabled with selection). |
Copy | Tick to select an existing row of instrument CarryOver. Click on 'Copy' to duplicate the setting for quick editing. It will be renamed ending with '(Copy)', click 'Edit' to make further changes. |
6. Usage Workflow Example
A. Bulk-importing carry overs by default
Select the Project Instrument Type from the dropdown.
Enter a specific Instrument Name if needed.
Specify the Revision number (default is 0).
Click Add Missing if default parameters are not listed.
B. Make necessary changes to carry overs values after importing
Filter out Parameters → Click on the filter next to header 'Instrument type' and select the specific instrument type to narrow down the list, or filter by 'instrument name'.
Click Edit Grid to enable editing mode.
Update the Carry Type / Carry Value and/ or other fields as needed.
Click Update to save changes.
NOTE: High-level fields like Instrument Type, Instrument Name, and Revision No. are non-editable. Only parameter-level fields—Param Type, Param Code, Param Name, Param Value, and Param Text Value—can be edited.
