Creating a new project
Click on the icon
in the project manager to create a new project
Enter a unique name for your project database (Don't
use characters like \ : ; . , & / in the file name!).
Always verify if a value ("1" or "1st insp" ….) is
set in this field (default value = 1)
Selecting the Language (p. 8) displays the standards
used in this country. The arrangement of this option
group is stored in the file Standards.ini in the corresponding language folder.
You can only select database types
for which a corresponding dongle
license is available (the default
type is MS Access 2000).
Select the template
and catalogue for
main sections, satellite sections and
manhole reports.
Click here to set
target
drive
and
target folder where
the new project is
going to be saved.
These 2 masks are only
displayed if the corresponding dongle licenses
are activated!
Page 7/51
Project manager
Important: Once you have confirmed these project settings you won't be able to change
them in the future! Therefore be sure that you have chosen the RIGHT template as well
as the RIGHT catalogue before starting your inspection job!
4.2
Language (country dialogue)
Click on the folder icon at the right end of the LANGUAGE textbox to select the language
used in your country:
Set the current program language. In the case of some countries (e.g. Switzerland, Belgium etc.), it is also necessary to select language subgroups for the individual national
languages (e.g. German, French etc.).
Only the languages which dongle licenses are available for are appearing in the dialogue
box below (e.g. no dongle licenses for Mexico):
Grey flag symbol:
Language Setup NOT installed; License available
AND activated
Coloured flag symbol:
Language Setup installed;
License available AND activated
You will only be able to select your language if the corresponding language setup has
been installed before (see documentation “System administration" p. 11) AND the
corresponding dongle licenses are activated.

4.3
Project structure
Once the project has been created by WinCan8 you will automatically find it in the target
folder whose path you defined before (p. 7). The most important subfolders of a WinCan project are described below:
Project folder (main folder)
This subfolder contains the project database
This subfolder contains the section
sketches created with WinCan DRAW.
This subfolder contains the inclination files
This subfolder contains all the pipeline and
manhole pictures related to the project
This subfolder contains all the data recorded by
scanner cameras (Panoramo, DigiSewer, RPP)
This subfolder contains all the manhole
sketches created with WinCan DRAW.
This subfolder contains the project template
(i.e. all the field and page layout settings that
can be modified by the user (chapter 16).
This subfolder contains the pipeline and manhole videoclips related to the project
It is strongly recommended to split your hard drive into at least 2 partitions: The drive
C:\ (about 100 GByte) contains the installation of Windows and the application software
(e.g. WinCan8) whereas the drive D:\ (or E:\) ought to be reserved for the WinCan8 projects.

Backing-up a project
You can also create a back-up of the selected project. This type of back-up can then be
transported from one computer to another where it can be re-imported into the Project
Manager. Click on the button
in the project manager to run the backup function:
You simply need to specify the target directory for
the back-up. The back-up function makes sure that
all project files like templates, pictures and videos
will be included in the copy.
If you use an external drive (e.g. memory
stick), you must make sure that it has got
sufficient capacity to store all the data.
Note: You can only use this BACKUP-function to save projects from the local
computer. The BACKUP of a server database or projects stored on a server must
be done by a database administrator using the BACKUP functions of the server
application.

6.7
Combining abandoned sections
In case of obstructions/obstacles you may be forced to stop the current survey and to resume it from the opposite side until you reach the obstruction again. The 2 separately inspected section parts (abandoned sections!) finally must be combined to put them together again into one single section. To do so proceed as follows:
1
The last observation line must contain the text "…abandoned…".
Highlight the abandoned section
part (1) and copy it using the
shortcut SHIFT + F5.
Resume the inspection from the opposite side and stop the survey with
the same observation text as shown
above.
Select the menu command ”Tools”  “Combine abandoned sections”

7.1
Recording damages
For each new section, the data record for the first observation is already created.
Double-click on the observation field to open the observation catalogue. Browse for the
predefined observation text that corresponds best to the damage at the current position.
To add further observations just double-click on the No.-field in the next empty line. So
the catalogue is opening again allowing you to browse for another observation text:
Click the green OK-button
to confirm your input or hit the button
to quit the
catalogue. The OK-button only appears when all necessary data have been entered.
 If the clock is displayed, you can select the exact clock position (e.g. 3 o’clock) or a
position range (e.g. 5-7 o’clock) to indicate the exact position of the damage. To select a clock position, click on the appropriate number. To select a position range, click
on the 1st number, move in clockwise direction and click on the 2nd number.
 Some type of observations ask the operator to enter the exact clock position or the
position range of the damage as well as to specify the damage using additional catalogue parameters (e.g. fracture size, diameter reduction etc.)
• Some observations can be defined as continuous defects: Use the buttons Start and
Finish respectively to set the exact positions (m or ft) of the beginning and the end of
the damage observed. The beginning of the continuous defect will be highlighted in
orange until the automatically displayed damage text is selected again:
If the Start-position of a continuous defect has previously been set the catalogue automatically suggests you first to close this continuous defect when opening the catalogue
again. You may then either double-click on the displayed text to close the continuous
damage immediately or select another observation text first:
Page 20/51
7.2
Entering damage grades
Some catalogue standards (PACP, WRC4 etc.) are automatically adding a damage grade
to the observation entered before. But some catalogues still allow entering the grades
manually. To do so just select the corresponding observation, open the value list from
the field Grade in the observation table and assign the right value to the damage:
Observations with assigned damage grades will be printed in the inspection report showing the colour you previously defined in the template (p.50).
7.3
Deleting observations
To delete an observation click on the damage number and drag it to the toilet icon keeping pressed the left mouse key:
Alternatively, you may also delete a selected observation pressing the DEL button.

Printing inspection reports
18.1 Printing special reports
WinCan8 is providing special summary reports like the Inspection Summary and the Profile Report.
For both reports you may decide whether the sections with abandoned inspections should
be printed or not:
The Profile Report is AUTOMATICALLY separated into a group of main and a group of lateral sections (satellites).
18.2 Printing a video or DVD cover
First of all launch a Viewer export of the current project in order WinCan can calculate
the amount of discs (CD/DVD) needed to copy all the section/inspection data.
The number of the disc is then AUTOMATICALLY copied into the inspection field
SI_MediaNumber and displayed in the list box in the WinCan Docu-Center:
This project can be distributed on 1 DVD.
Activate both check boxes to get the cover
printed. Select the option ALL to list all the
sections on the cover.

Customizing the project template
19 Customizing the project template
The most important new feature in WinCan8 is the free configuration of the headings or
data grids. This enables the user to define the data to be displayed and the way they can
be processed. Since this operation requires considerable knowledge of the software and
the subject itself we recommend that such a job is done only by experienced users, supporters or database administrators.
19.1 Modifying the section overview
The WinCan input mask of the section overview can be modified when clicking on the
header of any section field keeping the CTRL-key pressed:
The Template-Settings dialogue box is listing all the field properties that can be changed
by the user. No programming knowledge is therefore needed.
The top scroll bar lists all the fields that have already been configured and the active field
is highlighted in RED. To move from field to field within this dialog box, you simply need
to click on the corresponding field names:
If the required field is not
listed you can click on the last
EMPTY field at the end of the
scroll bar …
… and assign a predefined field from this drop
down list.
Print a complete list to document the
field settings.
Save or reject the settings.

19.5 Simple and associated databases
It may be useful to create databases for fields like S_Location, S_StartStreet and
S_EndStreet or others especially when working with long lists. The input modes simple
databases or associated database must be selected for that purpose.
Click on the button
and enter
your data into a new database. The
file DatabaseInput.mdb.tpl in the

Keep the CTRL-key pressed and click on the header of any manhole field to access the
same dialogue box as provided for the section fields. Make the changes you prefer and
save all the fields.
If you do not want to maintain a separate manhole protocol, you can also store certain
manhole-related information in the section header. To activate this function, the Template Settings in the section screen must be opened from the fields S_StartNode,
S_EndNode, S_FromManholeInfo or S_ToManholeInfo:
Check or uncheck the required manhole fields.
Use this button to display
additional fields for manhole data entry.
You can then use them by double-clicking on one of the fields S_StartNode, S_EndNode,
S_FromManholeInfo, S_ToManholeInfo. This opens the dialogue box below:
Note: Alternatively the designated fields can also be configured directly via the
layout (headings) in the section screen. In this case, it is not necessary to use
the dialogue box.

In this example the field SO_Level has been chosen to save the grade values. Once the
classification colours have been set (see p. 44) the observation text with an assigned
grade value will be printed in the corresponding colour:
Some catalogue standards however are AUTOMATICALLY calculating the damage grades
(e.g. PACP, WRC3, WRC4, WSA) and have the observation text printed in predefined
colours (e.g. WRC) on the inspection report.
Page 47/51
19.9.2 Printing additional parameters on the inspection report
Besides the Grade you can set the size of the observation text (1) as well as the display
of additional inspection informations (2) like continuous defects (SO_ContinousDefect)
