Introduction to Errors and Warnings

To view the Errors & Warnings section: 

1. Hover over the Manage tab, then select Settings 

2. Click on the Errors & Warnings option, located on the left menu

You can filter the Errors/Warnings listed on the account by Field, Level, Condition and Value.

Errors. An error is when a Field Reading does not adhere to reality or does not make sense. An example of this would be entering an incorrect Oil production reading that exceeds the Barrel capacity of a tank. 

When an error is detected, users will not be able to save data until it has been corrected.

Warnings. A warning indicates that there’s an irregularity with the information entered, however, it allows users to submit and save the data. 

An example of a warning could be very low Casing pressure for one of your tanks. 

Creating Errors and Warning for Wells

Account administrators can create Errors & Warnings for individual Wells or Well Groups. 

To create an Error/Warning on Wells:
