APS Fields

Database Fields 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 from directly from RR or via an inventory model

  • Calculated via Extensions and inputs from Refinements

  • Overridden manually using the Database Corrupter

Field Collections

The list of available collections will vary depending on the Production Mode Features selected.
