Filter.png

Blasts can be filtered using the following filters:

  1. Blast Name Search Filter:
    • Type in the search box.
    • Blasts shown are the ones containing the typed-in characters.
  2. Blast Status Filter:
    • Select All, Fired or Not Fired.
  3. 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.
    • The maximum number of blasts shown is based on the Display Filter.
  4. 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.
    • The maximum number of blasts shown is based on the Display Filter.
  5. 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 at the top right to close the tags filter; if the filter criteria were not previously applied, any edits will be lost.
      Read more about Tags here.
  6. Clear All filters - clears any filters that have been applied.
  7. Display selection:
    • Choose 20, 30, 60 or 90 blasts and Newest or Oldest from the dropdown list.
    • This dictates the limit of blasts that are shown from other filter criteria and whether these blasts are picked from oldest first or newest first.

Plots
time plot icon.pngTime Series psd plot icon.pngParticle Size Distribution

The time plot displays samples based on the selected metric of interest and fit (if applicable).

Colour coding: Blasts or samples are coloured based on the selected metric of interest and fit, as well as the sites's blast fragmentation-defined thresholds. Read more here.

  • Interactions:
    • Hover over: Mouse over a sample or blast to see the specific value of the metric of interest relevant date/time.
  • Blasts: A bar plot is shown, with a bar displayed for each blast based on the filter criteria.

  • Samples: a scatter plot is shown, with a trace for each FRAGTrack™ installation.
      • If only one installation's data is displayed, a moving average (2 hours window) trace is displayed.
      • Click the ellipsis (3 dots) to export samples from the run chart.

Aggregated Results
  • The aggregated results will be based on the selected metric of interest and fit.
  • Shown on the left: the percentage of samples which the selected result falls inside each range and are coloured accordingly.
  • Shown on the right: the aggregate results of all the metrics of interest for the selected fit.  With the selected metric of interest in bold font.
  • Toggling on the Georeferenced only will not change the Aggregated results.

Metrics of interest and thresholds can be configured for the site.  Read more here.

Assignation and display logic
Blast and hole fragmentation

Only georeferenced samples are assigned to blasts and holes. These samples are correlated based on the fragmentation samples' geolocation, the blasts and holes' geolocation and the blast's fire and end-of-excavation date/times.

Not assigned display logic

Samples that have not been assigned to blasts and holes are displayed based on the map's viewport, the oldest fire, and the newest end-of-excavation date/time for the blasts being displayed on the map.

The map's viewport is the region where the map is centred based on the blasts returned by the filter criteria.
