PS. Fields
- iarmstrong
Database fields in the Fields step are used to hold different information for the various activities setup within the model.
For example: Drilling fields could contain information on meters and holes, whereas Mining fields could contain information on tonnes and grades.
These fields can be populated through different methods:
Using data imported directly from Rapid Reserver or via an Inventory model.
Calculated via Extensions and inputs from the Database Refinements step.
Overridden manually using the Database Corrupter.
Field Collections
Field Collections are used to combine Database Fields into groups based upon each Solid or Activity.
The list of available collections will vary depending on the Production Mode Features selected in the Production Mode Features step.
Switch between items in the Field Collection list to display fields specific to different activities.
Field Properties
Each field has a number of properties associated with it.
Header Field | Usage |
|---|---|
Full Name | Full address of the field, including parent Title fields (ie. class_waterTable_wet). |
Indent | An indented field becomes a child of the “Title” field above it. |
Product Field | A measure of product value such as tonnes, grades, and class. |
Name | The name of the field that will appear in the Reserves tables. Must exactly match names as set in your custom scripts, otherwise an error message will appear, that must be correcting to proceed. |

Error Messages
If any of the fields are filled out incorrectly, an error will be displayed n the Error Message panel of the specific Activity.
Correct any errors to proceed to the next Setup steps.
Note that when using custom scripts, the required field names may be defined in them. Therefore, a mismatch may result in an error (in this Fields step, or in the Database Refinements step). Sometimes such a mismatch can be caused by different case, extra blank or misspelling.
