  2. This will open up a dialog displaying relevant hole information, with the 'Holes' tab visible by default.

    • Design: Count of designed holes with the given diameter.
    • Drilled: Count holes with drilled or measured length or any other evidence the hole has been drilled (decks, actuals etc.).
    • Not Drilled: Count holes specifically marked as 'not drilled'.
    • To Drill: Count of designed holes that don't have any drilled or measured length or other evidence the hole has been drilled.
      • Designed holes marked not drilled do not count
    • To Redrill: Holes with the redrill_required flag & not in 'redrilOfId'. i.e. a hole that is short but is present in the redrillOf on another hole is not considered

  3. To access information about the length, tap on the 'Length' tab, and relevant length information will be displayed.

    • Designed: Sum of design length for all holes of this diameter.
    • Drilled: Sum of drill actual meters for all holes of this diameter.
    • Not Drilled: Sum of design length meters for holes marked as not drilled for this diameter.
    • To Drill: Sum of design length meters for designed holes that have no evidence of being drilled.
      • Designed holes marked not drilled do not count.
    • To Redrill: Sum of design length meters for holes marked redrill_required.

Diameter & Bearing Indicators

  3. Tap the 'Bearing' icon to show the bearing indicator.
    • By default, the toggle for this feature is set to Off. Once the toggle is turned on, the map will display a bearing indicator ring for all holes with an angle other than 0°. It is important to note that the bearing is measured clockwise from North, with the North assigned a value of 0°.
    • A bearing in navigation is the direction to an object or location, expressed as degrees relative to a reference point or direction. The bearing to the object is determined by calculating the number of degrees clockwise from 000° (“True North“) to the object. Note that bearing and direction are not interchangeable terms. Bearing refers to the relationship between two locations, whereas direction refers to north, east, south and west.
