General Settings

Main setting of Gantt report in the Result tab

Gantt Bar Method

Select from the dropdown preferred Gantt Bar Method “Scheduled” or “FullPeriod”.

  • Scheduled will use the date/times as they are actually scheduled in the software.

  • FullPeriod will assume actions are taken over the duration of the period rather than at the instant they are actually done.

Info

Depending on the model setup, FullPeriod may give a better representation of the scheduler’s intent in ATS, but for better visualization of results in APS, “Scheduled” method is recommended.

Result Panel Column Section Max Width

Specify the desired maximum width of the section with columns in the Result tab.

Page Row Height

Specify the desired height of rows in the Page list.

Info

To display Page list, select “Page” as location in the Groupings tab.

Gantt Row Height

Specify the desired height of rows in the Gantt.

Compress Blanks

If selected, when a value does not apply to a grouping at a level, a blank will be used instead.

This can lead to a chain of nodes which just say “blank” before you get to the userful node at the end of the chain. If compress blanks is enabled, this will remove the intermediate blank nodes for a cleaner look.

Example, if you’re looking at Stockpiles and Reserves:

  • Reserves/Mine1/Pit1/Stage1/450/hg (either way)

  • Stockpiles/SP1/blank/blank/blank/hg (Compress Blanks Off)

  • Stockpiles/SP1/hg (Compress Blanks On)

Split Noncontiguous Chronologically Sorted Leaf Tasks

This option will split and duplicate leaf tasks (tasks with no child tasks) if all of the following are true:

  • The option is enabled.

  • The task is done at multiple different times, and other tasks occur between the start and end of the task.

  • The level is chronologically sorted.

This option generally only makes sense if the leaf tasks are dig or blast blocks being operated on by a single Agent. If this option is enabled and an agent finishes half block A, then does block B, and then returns to finish block A, there will be two rows for task A, rather than just one.

Labels tab

...

You In the Labels tab, you can create a number of “Single Labels”. These Single and Multi-Activity labels, that can be used as labels next to a gantt bar the Gantt chart bars and in additional columns. These are tied to a single data source (there are potentially many) and you can report out a field from the data source. If you click on one of these labels, you can change its display number format, and include a prefix or suffix (leave blank to ignore). You can also apply filters. These filters will enable you to only include values which pass ALL of the filters. In the case above label “a” will show the dryTonnes done only by agent EX001. Note the filters allow the user of wildcards, | symbols, etc - they can be set up with the same syntax as the Chrono report filters..

...

Single labels

  1. In the Name column, add a number of Single labels, that will appear next to the Gantt bars, or in the columns, created in the Columns tab. Create as many single labels as you need and name them accordingly. You can also copy all the labels, as well as import and export them from other projects.

...

2. Every single label is tied to the single Data Source (Gantt/ProductionDrilling/ProductionCharging/Mining/ProductionBlasting), that can be selected in the Data Source column.

...

3. In the Data Field column, specify a field to report out from the Data Source. Note that available fields vary depending on the data source selected.

  • Depending on data reported out, Data Fields can be “Number”, “Text” or “DateTime” type. Display format for each type will vary accordingly.

...

4. In the Display panel on the right, specify a format and include prefix and suffix, if required. Leave blank to ignore, or specify units of measurements as a suffix, for example.

...

  • Note the format for text (rather than numeric) fields is different

...

  • .

...

Because text is being shown, it’s possible there are more than one value. The format will let you choose how you want the label to appear in this case. Mode will chose the most common occurrence. Blank will show nothing. Start Star will show a *” symbol.

ModeWithStar vs Mode vs Blank vs Star format

5. You can also apply filters for individual labels in the Filters panel. These filters will enable you to only include values which pass ALL of the filters. In the case above label “Volume” will show the volume mined only by agent EX001.

...

Tip

Note the filters allow the user of wildcards, | symbols, etc - they can be set up with the same syntax as the Chrono report filters.

Multi-Activity Labels

A multi-Activity label can be only be used next to a Gantt bar - it cannot be used in a column. Because each bar in a Gantt may be associated with one (or more) activities, a multi-label allows you to choose the label that will be shown based on the activity done.
