2.	Fig. 1: Creating an Operation PWL Select 'Operation PWL' beneath 'Pwl' (Fig. 1). The current list of Operation PWLs is displayed.
3.	Fig. 2: Operation PWL settings Select beneath the 'Operation PWL' title. This will open a popup window where you can provide the baseline information for your Operation PWL.
4.	Provide the following information for your Operation PWL (see Fig. 2) Name: Provide a meaningful name for your Operation PWL. Date: Provide the date that your Operation PWL was buried. Comment: Provide a descriptive comment for your community PWL, if desired. Community PWL: You may link your Operation PWL to a Community PWL (see: Community PWLs) NOTE Linking your Operation PWL to a Community PWL allows you to retain your local definition and description of the PWL while allowing it to be linked with the same PWL observed in other infoEx operations Colour: Provide a colour that will identify your PWL in hazard assessments.
