Two ways to type in survex data

Typing in the survey data in survex format

Using the direct online system

Having confirmed the right name to use for your cave, including whether it is in area 1623 or 1626, e.g. +

+caves-1623/2050-cucc-01/easybimble.svx
+
+open a web browser on the equivalent page +
+http://expo.suvex.com/survexfile/caves-{area}/{cave}/{surveytripid}.svx
+
+e.g. +
+http://expo.suvex.com/survexfile/caves-1623/2050-CUCC-01/easybimble.svx
+
+and a suvex-file editing page will open, pre-populated with an example template +for survex data, most of which you will delete and replace. Edit this template and type in your own data. +

You can save your work by pressing the "Save this edited svx file" button, but it +will refuse to save until you have hand-edited out all the template material in [square brackets]. +

As you edit it, you can +press the "Differences between edited and saved versions of this file" and the differences which +comprise your recent typing will be listed below the edit window. +

Before you finish typing, use the third button "Run 'cavern' on this file". +
+- If you haven't yet removed all the [square brackets] stuff, nothing will happen except a message +

  SAVE FILE FIRST
+below the edit window. +
+- If you try to save before editing out the [square brackets] stuff then you wil get a message +
  Error: remove all []s from the text. They are only template guidance.
+
below the editing window. +
+- But if you have done all that, then survex will process your new survex file and tell you interesting things about your survey data below the editing window. ('cavern' is the survex engine which we use to process survex files.) +

You may see a number of error messages below the editing window: read them and understand them. If you don't understand them, ask someone. + +

Folders and subfolders

If you have a complex cave like 204 or 161 with many separate exploration zones then you can put subfolder names in the +URL bar e.g. +

+http://expo.suvex.com/survexfile/caves-1623/2050-CUCC-01/murderalley/killerclimb/easybimble.svx
+
+and the intermediate directories will be created on the server if they don't already exist. This is in addition to +the directory name which is also the name of your new cave being created automatically. +

Check existing online wallets (surveyscans folders)

+

As well as looking through the other plastic wallets in this year's lever-arch binder, have a look online at +the list of all online wallets and have a look at all the folders referred to +in your cave in, e.g. here is the data for cave 204: the wallet identifier is +in the right-most column titles "Scans". If you are doing an entirely new cave, then this won't exist yet but it +will be where your new discovery is eventually published. +

As well as following through the links on those pages, have a look at the drawings files page which lists all the scanned notes, plan and elevation scans in the each wallet ("Scans folder" column). +
