Build well labels

Main: Wells > Build Well Label

The Build Labels function can build a "label" string and store in either the Well Label or Sort Key field using parts from other well header fields. This can be very useful in project areas such as the Mid Continent where many wells have the same well name or number in different locations. Building a label using section-township-range fields makes well identification much easier. Well labels may contain up to 32 characters.
