Tables are a database holding a hierarchy of 3D scheduling blocks. In this step we define the levels of the pit and dump trees, and specify which level is the bench/lift level (the truck travel level).
A table marked as Dump or LongTermStockpile Long Term Stockpile has no reserves information and cannot be mined. If an area must be dumped and reclaimed (such as a land bridge), then the blocks must be imported twice (once as dumps, once as reserves).

Tables can be added to the project using the add and remove icons.
Click in the Table Name column field to rename it.
Select “Dumps” or “LongTermStockpile” “Long Term Stockpile” from the dropdown if it holds dumps or backfills/backfills or long term stockpiles to be reclaimed later.
