KBA Summary:

This Knowledge Base Article describes the functionality of the record cavity.

Summary

Capturing cavities is a feature within BlastIQ™ Mobile that allows operators to formally record the presence of voids (cavities) detected during drilling activities. When enabled by a Site Administrator, cavity capture is available across all supported drilling tasks, allowing operators to record cavity intervals directly against a hole.

IMPORTANT

Cavity capture requires all devices assigned to the site to be running BlastIQ™ Mobile v1.29 or later.  If any device on the site is running a version earlier than v1.29, the Enable Cavity Capture setting cannot be enabled.

 

BlastIQ™ Admin Portal Configuration

Follow the steps below to enable cavity capture.

  1. Select a site and click the "BlastIQ™ Mobile Configuration" menu.
  2. Click the "Edit" button.

  5. Confirm or correct any validation warnings.
    • If the entry triggers a validation error, a warning banner will appear. Sample validation rules are:
      • 'To' length must be greater than 'From' length: the end depth must always be deeper than the start depth.

      • Cavities cannot overlap: the depth range of a new cavity must not intersect an existing one on the same hole.

      • Cavity cannot exceed hole length: the "To" value cannot be greater than the hole length or hole drilled length.

  6. Once cavities are saved:

    • A numeric badge appears on the cavity icon indicating the total number of cavities recorded for the hole.
    • A purple dot indicator appears on the hole icon to indicate that one or more cavities have been recorded.
