KBA Summary:: This Knowledge Base Article describes the functionality of the Overview dashboard in BlastIQ™ Insights.

Summary

BlastIQ™ Insights Overview Dashboard provides a summarised view of totals pertaining to a defined set of blasts, all on a single page. This dashboard enables users to generate single blast, weekly, monthly or quarterly reports based on a range of filters.

Navigation

To navigate to the Overview Dashboard:

From the BlastIQ™ Insights toolbar, select Dashboards.
From the Dashboards menu, select Overview.

Filters

Blasts can be filtered using the following filters:

Blast Name Search Filter:
- Type in the search box.
- Blasts shown are the ones containing the typed-in characters.
Blast Status Filter:
- Select: All, Fired or Not Fired.
Date Range filter:
- Select Created or Fired Date.
- From and To fields are not mandatory.
- If the date range filter is not used, the blasts shown are the latest created/fired for the site.
- Maximum number of blasts shown is based on the Display Filter.
Elevation filter:
- Choose a minimum and/or a maximum elevation.
- Select Collar or Grade.
- If an elevation filter is not used, the blasts show an elevation range.
- Maximum number of blasts shown is based on the Display Filter.
Tags filter:
- Click on the Tags icon.
- Select the desired tags from each category.
- Click Apply to apply the filter criteria.
- It will return the blasts containing the selected tags based on the following logic:
  - OR for tags within the same category.
  - AND for tags across categories.
- Click on Clear and then Apply to clear all tags filters.
- Click on the X on the top right to close the tags filter; any edits to the filter criteria will be lost if not previously applied.
  Read more about Tags here.
Clear All filters - clears any filters that have been applied.
Display selection:
- Choose 20, 30, 60, 90, 250, 500 blasts and Newest or Oldest blasts from the dropdown list.
- This dictates the limit of blasts that are shown from other filters criteria and whether these blasts are picked from oldest first or newest first.

Filter Bar:
- Filtering by blasts using multiple criteria.
- For comprehensive details, please navigate to the Filters section.
Summary:
- Total Number of Blasts that have been fired or created.
- Total Number of Holes.
Hole Condition:
- Actual Information
  - The total count of holes is shown for each state, including Drilled, Measured, Loaded, and Stemmed.
- Water Presence
  - The total count and percentage of wet holes are displayed separately, either wet or wet side.
- Exceptions
  - The number of holes and their respective percentages are displayed for the following states: Not drilled, Abandoned, Potential Misfire, and Conflicting measurements.
- Hot Ground
  - On hover, it shows the number of holes.
  - Displays the temperature range, corresponding percentage of the total holes for each temperature category. Read more here.
  - Only visible for sites that have temperature captured enabled.
  - If colour or ranges have suffered any changes and numbers do not seem accurate, please get in touch with BlastIQ Support to get these calculations reprocessed.
QA / QC:
- Backfills - number of holes where backfill is:
  - Required: holes with a 'backfill required' tag (based on the defined tolerances in SHOTPlus) where the backfill deck has not been loaded.
  - Completed: holes with a 'backfill required' tag (based on the defined tolerances in SHOTPlus) where the backfill deck has been loaded.
- Backfill Potential Consumption
  - Completed:
    - Length - backfill length that has been completed. The sum of the length of triggered backfill decks that have been completed.
    - Weight - explosive weight potentially saved by completing the backfill tasks. Weight calculated based on the volume of the triggered backfill decks that have been completed
    - Note: calculations for 'Completed' do not take into account any actual backfill decks lengths/volumes; the calculation assumes backfill decks have been completed to design.
  - Required:
    - Length - backfill length that has not been completed. The sum of the length of triggered backfill decks that have not been completed.
    - Weight -
      - fired blasts - explosive weight that has potentially been spent by not completing the backfill tasks.
      - open blasts - explosive weight that has potentially been spent by not completing the backfill tasks or will be spent if the backfill tasks are not performed.
    - Note: the weight of the explosive is based on the adjusted design explosive density in the deck placed right above the backfill deck.
- Redrills
  - Not Redrilled: holes with the redrill required tag that are not present in the 'redrill of' field on another hole.
  - Redrilled: holes with the redrill required tag that is present in the 'redrill of' field on another hole.
  - Redrill Of: holes marked as a 'redrill of' another hole.
Compliance:
- Clicking ''Compliance'' redirects users to the Compliance by Blast dashboard.
- Drilling Length.
  - Choose one of the comparison options (Drill Actual Length, First Measured Length, Measured Length or Length After Backfill) from the drop-down list.
  - Click on the legend like Overdrilled, Compliant and Undrilled.
  - Hovering the mouse over the stacked bar, you can view the number of holes per state and their corresponding percentage.
- Drilling XY Position.
  - Displays the total and percentage of the drilling XY Position compliance of holes.
  - Click on the legend like Non-Compliant or Compliant.
  - Hovering the mouse over the stacked bar, you can view the number of holes per state and their corresponding percentage.
- Loading Weight
  - Clicking "Loading Weight" redirects users to the Loading Quantities dashboard.
  - Choose one of the comparison options (Design, Adjusted Design, Weight and Weight %) from the drop-down list.

- Drilling Productivity
  - Displays the drill's actual average penetration rate and the number of holes.
- Loading Weight
  - Clicking ''Loading Weight'' redirects users to the Loading Quantities by Blast dashboard.
  - Bar chart displays one bar per state:
    - Design
      - Total design bulk weight and design packaged weight is displayed in tonnes (t) units with one decimal point.
    - Adjusted Design
      - Total adjusted design bulk weight and design packaged weight are displayed in tonnes (t) units with one decimal point.
    - Actual
      - Total actual bulk weight + design packaged weight is displayed in tonnes (t) units with one decimal point.
  - Hovering the mouse over the bar chart per state displays the total loading weight and power factor used.
- Explosives
  - Bar chart displays one bar per product.
  - Hovering the mouse over the bar chart displays the actual weight of the product.
- Drilling Length
  - Clicking ''Drilling Length'' redirects users to the Drilling Quantities by Blast dashboard.
  - Bar chart displays the drilling length as the primary access and drilling yield as the secondary axis.
  - Hovering the mouse over the bar chart displays the total drilling length displayed in units of 10³m (with no decimal point) and the total drilling yield displayed in units of m³/m (with one decimal point).
- Items Used
  - Hovering the mouse over the bar chart displays the product name and its count.
  - Note: products are displayed with 0 values where there is design information for those products but no actuals.

Calculations

Comparison Options:
- Design - Provides a view of of the actual recorded hole loading against the original loading design. Actual Hole Weight vs Design Hole Weight.
- Adjusted Design - Provides a view of of the actual recorded hole loading against the latest adjusted loading design. Actual Hole Weight vs Adjusted Design Hole Weight.
- Weight - Hole Compliance is based on the Weight (absolute) reporting tolerance.
- Weight % - Hole Compliance is based on the Weight % reporting tolerance.

Note: All weight comparison are at hole level, i.e. aggregation of all explosives deck weights in a hole.

Tolerances:
- Weight and Weight % tolerances considered in this dashboard are the site level reporting tolerances. 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 = overloaded holes + underloaded holes + within tolerance holes
Holes Considered
- For a hole to be considered in the compliance score, it needs to have both the corresponding design and actual values.

Note:

All percentage values are truncated to 1 decimal place.
All other values are rounded to 1 decimal place.
