Post blast delay. Levelling blast heave, prepping area for dig unit access.

Import a schedule for spatial guidance?

Compare spatial production schedule conformance against plans from ATS or APS.

Import or specify non-spatial guidance?

Compare production schedule targets or metrics from other plans.
