The Extension Source, Extension Parameters, and Extension Data Sources setup steps do not appear in the Setup Task list for all projects, but only for those that use custom extensions.

Flag Use Extension option to display Setup Tasks for configuring external extension sources

Extension Source step

The Extension Source step may be used to load scripts to change the reserves database, stockpile inventories, equipment performance, processing plant performance, and reporting fields.

Extension Source import to project

  • Use the green arrow icon to Refresh the imported extensions.

  • Once extensions are loaded they stay with a project.

  • Use the disk icon to Export added extensions.

  • Use the red cross icon to Delete added extensions.

Extension Parameters step

The Extension Parameters step contains custom global variables such as the site name, drill and blast properties, and so on. These inputs vary from site to site depending on the requirements of the Extension scripts.

  • Use the folder and disk icons to import and export the parameter set configuration.

Extension Data Sources step

The Extension Data Sources step is used to import and cache external data sources, such as stockpile inventories and blast statuses, which are referenced later in the setup.
