Fields

In the Setup Task > Reserve Database > Data Fields > Fields step, manage field collections for Mining, Drilling and Miscellaneous fields.

To display fields specific to different activities, switch between the collections in the Field Collection list:

  • Mining Fields

    Mining material properties such as density, moisture, tonnes and grades. Can also include material properties that are measured at every processing path, point and product. For more information, see: Mining Fields

  • Drilling Fields

    Hole properties such as length, volume, etc. For more information, see: Drilling Fields

    Note that Drilling Fields are only included in the Fields step if the Schedule Drills flag is enabled in the Configuration Options step.

  • Misc Fields

    Block properties such as location, volume, depletion, etc. For more information, see: Misc Fields


Fields setup

Fields created in the Data Fields block will be displayed in the Data panel (common for multiple steps and tabs).
