| ||
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:
| ||
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:
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.   | ||

...
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.
...
5. 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. “Star” will show a “*” symbol.
...
6. 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.
...
You can then choose colors based on the mutex selected, rather than for each item. There’s always an <All Items> option which will just show you every unique value. If a mutex is available (which are not available for all types, and are configured in the Setup tab), it will only show the options of the mutex. For example:
Mutex for Mining/Drilling/Charging Parcels is configured in Setup > Parcel Subsets Reserves tab > Data panel Mutex SubsetsParcel Groups panel.
Mutex for Agents is configured in Setup > Agent Subsets > Mutex Subsets.
...
Colors for all the Colors for all the shadings except for Agents are to be set manually. No color is used by default.
The color for the Agents shading is set to the color in the Setup > Agents, but you can change it, if required.
Note, that if Agent’s color is changed in Setup > Agents it won’t be automatically reflected in the Gantt Agents shading.
To update, select the color manually, or delete that Agents shading and add it again - colors will be updated to the color in Setup step.
...
Filters tab
In the Filters tab, you can add filters to your Gantt. There are different types of filters: DataSource, Source, Destination, Agent, Parcel, Activity and Delay.
...
Description of the items on this tab is shown in the tables below.

Column | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Group Option | Group Options are the strings of text. You can create multiple options, it can be DataSource, Source, Destination, Agent or Activity.
| |
Group | Specify a level number. You can put more than one group option at the same level. If you do this, the text provided by the group option will be concatenated together with the others, using the “Name Separator” in the group set panel below. |  |
Include in Name | Enable to display text of each Group Option in a node on the tree. You may disable “Include in Name” if you want to break apart two things, but not have that text appear in the tree. |
|---|
 | ||
Reserves/Dumps/Stockpiles/Point Dumps/Crushers | Different Sites display options become available depending on the Group Option. |
|---|
| Info |
|---|
Note that the final Group Set must have a shading other than “(None)”, otherwise you’ll get an error message and won't be able to proceed to the Results tab until resolved. |
...
In the bottom part of the Groupings tab, configure how Group sets will appear in the resulting Gantt report.
Field | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Group Set # | Group set number as per level number, specified in the Group column above. If several records are added to the same level, they will be displayed as Item #1, Item #2, Item #3, etc.   Use the blue arrows to move Group Sets to the right/left.  
| ||
Location | You can choose for the first grouping to be allocated to a Page instead of the Gantt. This will create a panel on the left of the Gantt, and you can switch between the items there.  
| ||
Collapsed | Determines whether this node in the tree is expanded or not. | ||
Name Separator | Specify a symbol for name separator to be used between name levels. | ||
Tree | Colors and Fonts settings for the Tree items in the Result tab. | ||
Text/Background Color | Optionally, specify text and background colors to be applied to the tree records. | ||
Font | Optionally, specify font, size and style of the tree records. | ||
Bars | Shadings and Labels settings for Gantt bars in the Result tab. | ||
Shading | You can choose from one of the Shadings options (created in the Shadings tab). Alternatively you can choose <Continuous/Discrete Solid> and then choose a color for the bar. You can also choose “(none)”, in which case no bar will appear on the row. There are certain types of shadings that can only be shown if at the level the shading is applied has been filtered down to a single activity either through the selections at a level above or through the Filters tab.
| ||
Left/Right Labels | Choose a label that will appear on the left and/or right of the Gantt bar. This can be a multi-label or a single label. |
...
Levels are showing Result tab items from left to right as set in the Grouplings Groupings tab. In this example, Level 1 is Activity, Level 2 is Agent, Level 3 is Source.
Mode can be Chronological Ascending, Ascending, Descending or Custom. Custom mode will allow you to specify the order explicitly.
