<h1>Creating a new cave in the online system</h1>
<h2>Great, I have discovered a new cave...</h2>
<p>So, you have staggered off the plateau with a fist-full of notes and surveys,
and you want to let the world know of your massive discovery.
<ul>
<li>If you have not yet learned how to record your prospecting and survey
your leads, read the
<ul>
<li><a href="../look4.htm">prospecting introduction</a> and
<li><a href="../survey/index.htm">survey handbook</a> which tells you how to record
survey information in your waterproof notebook. But first you should read the
<li><a href="/expofiles/presentations/cave_surveying_20130626.pdf">
Cave Surveying training course slidepack</a>.
</ul>
<br />
<div style="width:100%;height:50px;background:#C8E1E2" align="center">
This page outlines step 1 of the survey production process. Each step is documented separately.<br />
<!-- Yes we need some proper context-marking here, breadcrumb trails or something.
Maybe a colour scheme for just this sequence of pages

<h2>Process</h2>
<p>After 40 years or so, we have a well-defined process which you will need to learn.
Read <em>all</em> this list first, then follow
the instructions section by section which tell you how to
actually do these things.
<ul>
<li>Write up your trip in the <a href="../logbooks.html">logbook</a> including rigging sketches<br><br>
<li>Put notes in a new wallet
<li>Scan the notes (see <a href="newwallet.html#onlinew">"new wallet"</a> for the filenames to use and <a href="newwallet.html#scan">how to use the scanner</a>)
<li>Type in survey data (in the right place in the file system) in <a href="#survexformat">survex format</a>.<br>
(This includes passage descriptions and open leads known as QMs: Question Marks).
<li>Run survex to create a centre-line printout
<li>Transcribe your sketches onto centre-line paper
<li>Scan your centre-lined sketches
<li>Use tunnel to digitise your centre-line sketches
</ul>
<p>and either later or at the same time, you will be doing these other tasks
<ul>
<li>Create a new folder in the file system for the wallet data
<li>Create a new folder in the file system for the survex data
<li>Create a "new cave entry" for the guidebook description
<li>Write the <b>full cave description</b> into the correct html files. <br>
(This will mean copying the passage descriptions from the survex files.)
<li>Update the index tick boxes on paper: as your wallet progresses through this process
<li>Update the online record of those tick boxes
<li>Regenerate the <a href="/expofiles/surveyscans/2018/">list of outstanding survey tasks</a> for everyone for the current year
</ul>
<p>This documentation assumes that you have recorded your survey data in
a waterproof paper notebook. If instead you are using a PDA to record the survey readings
digitally for your first cave, don't. Use the paper process first, then when you are familiar
the overall process, look at the <a href="pdanotes.html">PDA additional notes</a>.
<p>Now go the the next page in this sequence <a href="newwallet.html">Starting a new wallet"</a>.
