BlastIQ™ First Measured Length

Release Date:

27^th September 2021

KBA Summary:

BlastIQ First Length allows users to perform QA/QC on initial and final recorded hole lengths by keeping a record of the first recorded length.

Summary

BlastIQ™ now keeps a record of the first recorded hole length as a separate hole attribute in the system called First Length.

Important Note: Only holes measured after the release date of this feature can have a valid First Length record.

Logic

• First Length and Actual (Measured) Length will be the same when only one hole length value has been recorded.
• Subsequent hole length records will not update First Length.
• Clearing hole length clears both Actual (Measured) Length and First Length.

Correcting Data

• To correct an error when measuring length the first time:
  
  1. Clear length.
  2. Record new length.
• To correct an error when measuring length on subsequent entries:
  1. Do NOT clear length.
  2. Update length to the desired value.
