Connect to Imago
Use the Connect to Imago option (in the DH-Data > Core Photo Services menu) to specify the drillhole project settings for creating dynamic hyperlinks to connect to Imago projects and datasets. This allows you to view drill core photos and other geoscientific imagery based on the selected project, dataset, data series, and/or imagery type. For more details, see the Application Notes below.

Application Notes
Once connected to Imago, a new button () will appear on the Database and Map window toolbars in the current drillhole project. This button, labelled View Drillhole in Imago, is visible for all drillhole project database tables and maps. It is not visible for non-drillhole databases and maps. When the button is clicked, Imago will open in a web browser. The selected drillhole and its associated imagery will then be loaded based on the options selected in the Connect to Imago dialog.
If you are not signed into the Imago portal, you will be prompted to sign in with your Seequent ID.
Linking from Databases
When linking from a drillhole database, the currently selected drillhole (and depth interval, if one is selected) is used as the 'current drillhole'. When the View Drillhole in Imago button is clicked on the Database toolbar, Imago will open in a browser tab and display the currently selected drillhole and depth range (if available) from the active database.
If the selected drillhole does not exist in the Imago storage, or if there is no imagery currently stored for the selected drillhole and depth range, Imago will display a message (e.g., "No imagery is currently displayed") and suggest an alternate option (e.g., "Search for imagery or select it using the dataset browser on the right").
If imagery exists for the drillhole but the selected depth values are not available as photos, the first or last available image for the drillhole will be displayed instead.
Linking from Maps
Linking to core photos from drillhole maps uses the Data Linking function to locate the drillhole and depth interval in the active database table. On drillhole Plan or Section maps, click the Data Linking button () and place the cursor over a drillhole trace on the map. Click anywhere on the drillhole trace to select that drillhole and depth range in the active database. Click and drag the mouse cursor up or down the drillhole trace, and the active database will show the current location in dark blue highlight. The View Drillhole in Imago button will become enabled on the Map window toolbar, and when pressed, an Imago browser window will display the selected drillhole and the corresponding depth interval currently shown in the database.
When data linking is used on a Section or a Plan map, the location on the map is "dynamically linked" with the currently active drillhole project database. In the active database, both the drillhole name and a depth range are identified (highlighted). When Imago is launched, a browser window will open and display a zoomed-in area of the drillhole, corresponding to the depth interval identified in the database.
If the active linked database is not a "From-To" database (i.e., it does not contain the DH_From & DH_To channels) or does not contain a DH_Depth channel, the entire hole will be shown instead.
