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).

Scenarios

Each scenario runs a schedule based on the inputs in its Calendar, Gantt, and Animation.

‘Save points’ can be created by copying a schedule, locking the original, and working on the copy.

Merge Scenarios

Scenarios can be merged if you have two people working in parallel. See Merge Scenarios

Performance Profiler

The performance profiler allows experts to diagnose performance issues in the project. Each line item reports the time taken on that task during the schedule.
