Database Viewer Toolbar

The Database Viewer toolbar provides easy access to tools for working with Geosoft databases. The toolbar becomes active within the database window when a database is opened in your project.

	Save Changes Click this button to save changes made to your database.
	Discard Changes Click this button to discard changes made to your database and restore it to its last saved state.
	First Line/Group Click this button to display the data and profiles for the first line in your database.
	Last Line/Group Click this button to display the data and profiles for the last line in your database.
	Previous Line/Group Click this button to display the data and profiles for the previous line in your database.
	Next Line/Group Click this button to display the data and profiles for the next line in your database.
	New Line/Group (licensed version only) Click this button to create a new line in your database. A dialog is displayed that allows you to specify the line number, version, date, and type. If your database contains groups of data instead of lines, a new group will be created.
	Delete Current Line/Group (licensed version only) Click this button to delete the currently selected line from your database.
	Pan to Cursor on All Maps Click this button to make all the open maps automatically pan the view to keep the cursor in sight. As you move the cursor in the database table or Profile window, the location of the Shadow Cursor updates on open maps and grid viewers. When the cursor moves out of view, the map automatically pans to centre the new cursor location, ensuring the cursor remains visible.
	View Drillhole in MX Deposit Click this button to launch MX Deposit and view the selected drillhole information. This button is available only for Drillhole Project databases imported from MX Deposit using the import tool in the DH-Data > New Project menu. For more details, see New Project from MX Deposit.
	View Drillhole in Imago Click this button to launch the Imago online application portal and view stored core photos for the selected drillhole and depth range. This button becomes available in Drillhole Project databases after running the Connect to Imago option in the DH-Data menu and establishing a successful connection. For more details, see Connect to Imago.

Application Notes

The sections below outline configurable options that enhance database efficiency and visibility, as well as settings for multi‑channel management.

Configure Database Shortcut Keys

Oasis montaj provides configurable shortcut keys ("hotkeys") for quick access to menu functions, helping to streamline your workflow.

• To view or customize these settings, navigate to Database > Settings and select Configure GDB Shortcut Keys.

• The interactive dialog allows you to define your own hotkeys or review the default mappings.

Configure Database Highlighting Preferences

Another useful feature under Database > Settings is Highlight Rows/Cells, which allows you to apply custom visual highlighting to project databases.

• This is especially helpful when working with large datasets that require frequent scrolling.

• By clearly emphasizing the active row or cell, this feature improves visibility, reduces errors, and enhances overall data readability.

Manage Multiple Channels Efficiently

To improve the database user experience and support tasks such as editing or rearranging multiple channels at once, the following capabilities are available:

• Select and Reorder Multiple Channels

  Select (highlight) multiple database channels simultaneously and apply actions to them as a group. Available actions include drag‑and‑drop reordering, moving channels left or right, and positioning them before or after another channel.

• Edit Multiple Channels

  Update shared attributes across multiple selected channels at the same time.

• Hide or Remove Multiple Channels

  Hide or remove selected channels from the view.

• Protect/Unprotect Multiple Channels

  Apply or clear protection for selected channels.

• Delete Multiple Channels

  Remove all selected channels from the database.
