- KBA Summary:
- This Knowledge Base Article describes using the Drilling Length Dashboard in BlastIQ™ Insights.
Summary
BlastIQ™ Insights enables users to visualise 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 two 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, hold Ctrl on the keyboard, press and hold the left mouse button, and move the cursor as required.

View
Decks Tab
- Click on a hole on the map.
- Then, the hole details panel opens, displaying the decks and measurement information.
- Clicking the Hole Details icon without clicking a hole by default shows no decks and measurement information.
- Hole details panel closes when the user clicks the 'x' button only.
- Once the panel is closed and you want to open the panel again, click the Hole Details icon at the bottom left-hand corner.
Note
- Deck is displayed by a lower number from the bottom to the top (higher number)
- Deck is aligned by number; a blank space is visible when a state of the hole (Design, Adjusted Design and Actuals) does not have a deck that other states do.
- Decks and relevant properties are grouped by:
- Design
- Adjusted Design
- Actuals
Measurements Tab
- Click the 'Measurements' tab.
- Then, Measurement information is visible.
- Time Occurred
- Deck
- Property
- Value
- User
- Equipment
- Device
Note
- Measurements are ordered by timestamp.
- Sorting is implemented by clicking on the column headers.
- Click the 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 download button to initiate a CSV file download.
Settings
- Click on the View options in the bottom left corner.
- Select from Comments, Wet or None.
- A secondary indicator is shown on the map.
Note: Available for single and multiple blasts.
- Click on the View options in the bottom left corner.
- Select On.
- Hole Name labels will be displayed in the centre of each hole boundary.
Note: Available only for the single blast.
Calculations
- Comparison Options:
- Drill Actual Length - Provides a view of the latest known drilled hole length. If present, drill Actual Hole Length vs Design Length or Drill Adjusted Design Length.
- 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 any of the hole types do not set either of these tolerances, 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:
