Hourly and daily flow logs and event logs are automatically saved to C:\NuFlo log data\MC-III\<Well Name>. This folder will be created by the program when it is run for the first time.
The "Well Name" folder will bear the well name that appears on the Wellsite Information screen. If no well name is entered on this screen, the folder will be named “NO_WELLNAME.”
The above path is also the default location for configuration files, flow log reports, and event log reports. However, the user can specify a different location for these files before he saves them.
