Version 1.4.1 of BlastIQ™ Underground , first offered to users on Thursday 27^th November 2025.

To update BlastIQ™ Underground please check for updates through the link located in the top left corner of the BlastIQ™ Underground login screen, or via the 'Updates' button on the home section of the ribbon.

For further information on updating BlastIQ™ Underground, please contact the BlastIQ™ Support Team via support.blastiq.com.

1. Rings can now be moved to a new or existing plan, via the "Move Rings" button in the Tools tab on the ribbon.¹ 
2. BlastIQ™ Underground now supports grouping blasts.²
3. Users can now specify the program directory location when installing the application. 
4. Users can now rename Shape, Evaluator and Polyline objects. The names will be stored and loaded when saving and opening a project file. 
5. New hole filters are available:
   1. "Prepped" which will display holes that have a length that have been measured by a field device.
   2. "Design Breakthrough" which will display holes where design breakthrough is set to true.
   3. "Actual Breakthrough" which will display holes that have actual breakthrough measured as false.
   4. "Unexpected breakthrough" which will display holes where design breakthrough is set to false and actual breakthrough has been measured as true.
   5. "Failed to breakthrough" which will display holes where design breakthrough is true and actual breakthrough has been measured as false.
   6. "Overdrilled" which will display holes where the measured hole length is greater than sum of the design length and the overdrill tolerance.
   7. "Underdrilled" which will display holes where the measured hole length is less than difference of the design length and the underdrill tolerance.

1. Importing LOADPlus™ data¹:
   1. Users can now map the LOADPlus™ record to the appropriate blast Hole ID, removing the requirement for naming conventions to be followed when capturing data on the LOADPlus™ interface. 
   2. Hole top-ups are supported. Where duplicate Ring and Hole IDs exist in the LOADPlus™ report, the application will post the top-up as an individual deck, to improve transparency on actual loading.
2. In the Project Explorer, rings will now sort according to the order they were from the source data file, until the blast is received from BlastIQ™, where they will be sorted in the order they are received from BlastIQ™.
3. As part of our goal to continually improve the user experience, we have refined the BlastIQ™ push and pull methodology. These changes have been applied to the following areas of the application:
   1. Retrieving blasts from the BlastIQ™ Plan List (in Project > BlastIQ™) has been consolidated into the "Add to project +" button. The previous "Download Plan" button has been removed. 
   2. Pulling blasts in the data table.
   3. Pushing blasts in the data table.
   4. Syncing comments with the "Sync Comments" button (previously "Send New Comments") located in the Comments side panel, accessible via the icon on the top right hand side of the panel. 
      
   5. Syncing comments when adding them through the "Add New Comment" dialogue located in the blast's data table.

1. DXF 'lwpolyline' objects were not importing.
2. Hole comments will display date and time in the application using the BlastIQ™ site time-zone specified in BlastIQ™ Admin Summary page.
3. Blast names now truncate when minimizing the Project Explorer.
4. When importing a blast design and entering hole tolerances, it was difficult to enter tolerance values when multiple hole types were present.
5. When entering hole tolerances for multiple hole types, using "Tab" navigated down a column, instead of across a row.
6. The colour selector for Shapes, Evaluators and Polylines wasn't working.
