- KBA Summary:
- This Knowledge Base Article describes the functionality of the Overview dashboard in BlastIQ™ Insights.
Summary
BlastIQ™ Insights Overview Dashboard provides summarised view of totals pertaining to a defined set of blasts, all in a single page. This dashboard enables of 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 one 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 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 elevation filter is not used the blasts shown any 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 by , 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, and 500 blasts from the dropdown list.
- This filter dictates the maximum number of blasts displayed in addition of other filters.

- If colour or ranges have suffer any changes and numbers do not seem to be accurate, please contact BlastIQ Support to get these calculations reprocessed.
- Actual Information
- QA / QC:
- Backfills - number of holes where backfill is:
- Required: holes that have a 'backfill required' tag (based on the defined tolerances in SHOTPlus) where the backfill deck has not been loaded.
- Completed: holes that have 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 that has potentially been 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 in 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 is 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.
- Completed:
- 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 are present in the 'redrill of' field on another hole.
- Redrill Of: holes marked as a 'redrill of' another hole.
- Backfills - number of holes where backfill is:
