Completely understood :) I'm not really a programmer and I don't really know how much WOULD be involved in making something like this work. That's why I am not 100% sure how it would be done. I have ideas in my head on how it could be done but, well, I don't know Intermapper underneath the GUI, and therefore I don't think it would be appropriate for me to even speculate on how it could be coded. I do however have faith that yalls are coding machines over there and that yalls will be able to get it working. I agree with you when you say that there's different ways to display the data. That's why this is something that I think will have to be designed/thought out in probably a more communal way (with the customers) to where both sides can so to speak "win". I don't think it's as straightforward as a, "Here, deal with it". Thank you for looking into it and responding.
