Region 11 Technical Note – NASIS Text Notes Guide
Date: January 2009
Subject: NASIS text notes
Purpose: Provide guidance for population of text notes in
NASIS.
Background: In Region
11, all MLRA soil survey activities are managed in NASIS. All SSURGO
soil business and all soil survey correlation activities are captured in
NASIS. NASIS provides us with an opportunity to document and store all
pieces of information that go into the production of a soil survey. That
opportunity resides in the “Text” tables available in NASIS. To make the
most of that opportunity there needs to be some sort of structure and
organization of these pieces of information so that they can be easily
entered into the database and later retrieved and understood by our
successors. The Region 11 NASIS Text Note Guide will help provide
consistency in capturing soil business and correlation activities. In
the text field, the soil scientist should place their name and date for
each note captured.
Procedure: Use these worksheets to identify NASIS
text tables, categories, subcategories, choice lists, etc. to be
populated in Region 11.
