Summary
BlastIQ™ Insights enables users to visualise the final stemming length compliance of holes before and after holes within a blast plan have been stemmed via the Final Stemming Length Dashboard.
To navigate to the Final Stemming Length dashboard:
- From the BlastIQ™ Insights toolbar, select Dashboards.
- From the Dashboards menu, select Loading > Final Stemming Length.
Via Site Map

-
Stemmed
- The dashboard will be updated based on the selected option.
-

-
Adjusted Design
- The dashboard will be updated based on the selected option.
-
View
-
Map View
- Navigate to the view selector.
- Select "Map View".
- Blast Plan view displays an area per hole coloured according to the hole compliance. In the case of over and under-stemmed holes, the greater the length difference, the darker shade of the colour will be (see the colour legend). To learn more, click here.

Summary
-
Hole Details Panel
- Click on a hole on the map.
- The hole details panel opens.
- Clicking the Hole Details icon without clicking a hole by default shows no data.
- The hole details panel closes only when the user clicks the "x" button.
- Once the panel is closed and you want to open the panel again, click the "Hole Details" icon at the bottom left-hand corner.
- The panel consists of five tabs: Details, Decks, Measurements, Drill Data, and Comments.
-
Details
- By default, the "Details" will be visible, presenting users with design, drilled, and measured data.
-
Decks
- Decks and relevant properties are grouped by design, adjusted and actual.
- Deck is displayed by a lower number from the bottom to the top (higher number).
-
Measurements
- Provides a concise overview of recorded data, including the time occurrence, associated deck, property details, recorded values, user identity, and the equipment or device used.
- Measurements are ordered by timestamp.
- Sorting is implemented by clicking on the column headers.
-
Drill Data
- Provides a concise summary of drilling-related information. Users will find details such as the average penetration rate, start time, end time, drill name, operator, and timestamps for when the event occurred and was received.
-
Comments
- Hole comments recorded in BlastIQ™ Mobile v1.22.206 or older will not show in the comments in the hole details panel. These comments are still available in the already supported display points and data export.
-
Details
-
Measurements
- Click the measurements icon located in the lower left-hand corner.
- Click anywhere on the map to draw points.
-
Lines should automatically connect the points.
- The aggregated distance of the drawn lines will be visible.
-
Layers
- Click on the layers icon.
- Choose "Image Overlays" or "Polylines" from the available options.
- Select "None" for no layers display.

Comparison Options:
Enable users to compare and evaluate the selected actual against the chosen design.
- Select an Actual:
- Stemmed - Considers the final stemming length only of holes that have been stemmed.
- Available - Considers the length remaining to be stemmed of holes that have actual loading and have not been stemmed.
- Select a Design:
- Adjusted Design - Latest loading instruction or design adjusted based on actual hole conditions.
- Design - Original design, before adjusted by actual hole conditions.
- Select an Actual:
-
Tolerances:
- The tolerance considered in this dashboard is the site-level deck horizon/top stemming length reporting tolerance. Read more here.
-
Compliance Score:
- For any of the comparisons, the compliance score (%) is calculated as follows:
Compliance Score (%) = 100*W/M
Where:
W = within tolerance holes
M = overstemmed holes + understemmed holes + within tolerance holes
- For any of the comparisons, the compliance score (%) is calculated as follows:
Note:
- All percentage values are truncated to 1 decimal place.
- All other values are rounded to 1 decimal place.
The following scenario will result in no evaluation for any comparison mode as the logic won't detect a design or final stemming length, the hole will show some 'available' values as it is loaded.
The following design will cause a mismatched comparison in the Available mode when the actual air deck is not recorded.
The recording of the air is required to the correct available stemming length compared to the design's final stemming length.
