- KBA Summary:
- This Knowledge Base Article describes the use of the Drilling Length Dashboard in BlastIQ™ Insights.
Summary
BlastIQ™ Insights enables users to visualize the drilling length compliance of holes within a blast plan via the Drilling Length Dashboard.
Navigation
Note: The old Single Blast Drilling Length Dashboard can be found under "Length (classic)".
To navigate to the Drilling>Length dashboard:
- From the BlastIQ™ Insights toolbar, select Dashboards.
- From the Dashboards menu, select Drilling>Length.
- Select the desired blast from the drop-down list. Type in to narrow down the list.
OR
- Right-click on a blast in Site Map.
- Select Drilling>Length.
To access the Drilling Length Dashboard: for multiple blasts.
- On Site Map, select 2 or more blasts by clicking on them on the map.
- Right-click on one of the selected blasts.
- Choose Drilling Length from the menu.
To pan around the Drilling Length Dashboard:
- Activate the map by placing the mouse cursor anywhere on the map and clicking the screen, then use the Up, Down, Left, or Right arrows on the keyboard; or
- Place the mouse cursor anywhere on the Drilling Length Dashboard map, press and hold the left mouse button, and move the cursor as required.
To rotate and tilt the Drilling Length Dashboard:
- Place the mouse cursor anywhere on the map press and hold the right mouse button, and move the cursor as required; or
- Place the mouse cursor anywhere on the map press and hold Ctrl on the keyboard, press and hold the left mouse button, and move the cursor as required.
Information
The following information is shown on the Drilling Length Dashboard:
- Total number of holes.
- Colour Legend (underdrilled/within tolerance/overdrilled).
- Comparison options.
- Summary.
- Plots.
- Coloured Heatmap.
- Hole (hover over) information.
- Secondary indicator.
- Hole Details Panel.
Decks Tab
- Click on a hole on the map.
- Then hole details panel opens where the decks and measurement information is displayed.
- Clicking the Hole Details icon without clicking a hole by default it does not show any decks and measurement information.
- Clicking the Hole Details icon without clicking a hole by default it does not show any decks and measurement information.
- Hole details panel closes when user clicks 'x' button only.
- Once the panel is closed and you want to open the panel again just click the Hole Details icon located at the bottom left-hand corner.
Note
- Deck is displayed by lower number from the bottom to the top (higher number)
- Deck is aligned by number, where a state of the hole (Design, Adjusted Design and Actuals) does not have a deck that other states do, then a blank space is visible.
- Decks and relevant properties are grouped by:
- Design
- Adjusted Design
- Actuals
Measurements Tab
- Click the 'Measurements' tab.
- Then Measurements information is visible.
- Time Occurred
- Deck
- Property
- Value
- User
- Equipment
- Device
- Time Occurred
Note
- Measurements are order by timestamp.
- Sorting is implemented by clicking on the column headers.
- Click Table View button.
- Table view will be visible and shows relevant data to the dashboard.
- You can use the search boxes to filter the data.
- You can sort by clicking on the column headers.
- You can export by clicking the Export button and this will initiate the download of a CSV file.
View Settings
Secondary Indicator
- Click on the View options on the bottom left corner.
- Select from Comments, Wet or None.
- A secondary indicator is shown in the map.
Note: Available for single and multiple blasts.
Hole Name Labels
- Click on the View options on the bottom left corner.
- Select On.
- Hole Name labels will be displayed in the centre of each hole boundary.
Note: Available only for single blast.
Calculations
- Comparison Options:
- Drill Actual Length - Provides a view of the latest known drilled hole length. Drill Actual Hole Length vs Design Length or Drill Adjusted Design Length, if present.
- First Measured Length - Provides a view of the first measured hole length. First Measured Length vs Design Length or Drill Adjusted Design Length, if present.. Read more about BlastIQ™ First Length.
- Measured Length - Provides a view of the latest known measured hole length. Measured Length vs Design Length or Drill Adjusted Design Length, if present.
- Length After Backfill - Provides a view of the achieved hole length across the blast after the backfill process is completed. Measured Length or Backfill deck horizon where present vs Design Length or Drill Adjusted Design Length, if present.
- Tolerances:
- For any of the comparisons, the tolerance considered will be the hole type's overdrill and underdrill tolerances set in SHOTPlus™, if either of these tolerances are not set by any of the hole types, then the Site's Reporting Tolerances are used to classify a hole as within, over or under tolerance.
- Compliance Score:
- For any of the comparisons, the compliance score (%) is calculated as follows:
Compliance Score (%) = 100*W/M
where:
W = count of holes within tolerance
M = count of measured holes.
- For any of the comparisons, the compliance score (%) is calculated as follows:
