Press the first blue play icon to run a single period of the schedule, this will be either the earliest period that has changes, or the next unscheduled period if there have been no changes.
The second play icon, will run the highlighted scenario.
The third play icon, will run all scenarios.
Green progress bars show the scenario schedule state.
All Scenarios will be using the same project setup parameters, each can have custom inputs in the Calendar, Gantt and animation.
Scenario Mode
Each scenario can be run in three modes.
‘Mining Mode’ ignores drilling dependencies. Use this mode to run a digger-only schedule.
‘Ancillary Mode' is used to align the ancillary sequences to the Mining Mode.
‘Everything Mode’ enforces all dependencies. Use this mode to schedule diggers and drills together.
A green progress bar indicates how much of the schedule has been run. Yellow highlighting indicates the schedule has been invalidated past that point (by a move on the Gantt).
Animations and Reports show results for the selected mode.
