Text Editor
For users with editing privileges, the system offers options to incorporate details and information into the plan.
Within RigBridge, users have access to a text editor designed to facilitate the addition of descriptive information to elements like Instructions under the tab Operations. This editor provides basic text formatting options, ensuring clarity and readability of all text when the plan is published into RigFlow.
Our text editor resembles Microsoft Word and provides a user-friendly toolbar equipped with essential tools. RigBridge makes it easy for everyone using the text editor to stay in sync with real-time updates. So any changes made by one user are instantly shared with all others, just like in online text editors such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word.
Note
The text editor automatically saves your changes, so you don't need to worry about saving manually.

Copying/Pasting text into the text editor
Copying and pasting text is also supported. When pasting text, supported formatting from RigBridge will be preserved. If the user tries to paste text with unsupported formatting, it will automatically revert to the default text colour, which is black.
There are no limitations in characters written
The text editor does not impose a character limit, yet users should be mindful of the volume of information they input. Text can be organized into bullet point lists or numbered lists. As a best practice, it is advisable to create detailed tool procedures using numbered lists.
Spell checking
The spell-check feature utilizes your browser's built-in spell-check. To activate it, adjust your browser settings to match your preferences.
You can link or un-link an attachment to your instruction directly from the text editor. Let's take a look

When importing content from other sources, unwanted text formatting might appear in RigBridge plans. While RigBridge automatically removes much of this formatting when importing content from programs like Word or Excel, occasional manual adjustments may be necessary.
