- KBA Summary:
- This Knowledge Base Article describes how to rename a blast and its implications across the system.
Summary
BlastIQ™ Knowledge Base Article provides step-by-step instructions for renaming a blast in BlastIQ Insights and emphasises the implications of renaming blasts throughout the system. Renaming a blast name can significantly impact various components within the system, making it crucial to understand these implications to maintain data integrity and avoid potential issues.
How to rename a blast in BlastIQ™ Insights
- From the BlastIQ™ Insights toolbar, select "Blast Management."
-
On the Blast Management page, choose the plan you want to rename.
- Click the "Rename" button.
- The Rename modal will open, allowing you to add a new name.
- Click the "Save" button when you are done.
How it works in SHOTPlus™
Pre-condition: You have already renamed the blast name using BlastIQ™ Insights.
- Launch SHOTPlus™ version #6.16.70 or a later version.
- Open the previously exported file to BlastIQ™.
- Click on the "Export Plan" / "Import Plan" button.
- Login for authentication.
- The modal opens and automatically displays the updated blast name.
Implications
- SHOTPlus™
- Renaming a blast name within Insights does not notify SHOTPlus™ users about the change. As a result, if a user exports an existing plan in SHOTPlus™ without using the new/updated blast name, it will create a new plan instead of updating the existing one; this can lead to data duplication and inconsistencies.
- BlastIQ™ External API Integrations.
- Renaming a blast may also affect integrations with the BlastIQ™ External API, such as Drill System integrations. The new plan name must be used in the API integration after the blast is renamed to avoid integration errors.
