Model charging of blast holes?	Explosives loading
Model drilling of presplit holes?	Presplit drilling for wall control
Model charging of presplit holes?	Explosives loading of Presplit holes. (Does not create mineable stock)
Model drilling of holes not related to blasting (grade control, dewatering)?	Grade control delay. Unlocks the Misc Drilling tab in the Feature Settings panel below, where you can set Hole Density Factors
Model blasting?	Blasting delays
Model a generic activity that occurs before drilling commencing?	Pattern cleanup or wall scaling delays
Model a generic activity that occurs before any mining commences?	Post blast delay. Levelling blast heave, prepping area for dig unit access
Import a schedule for spatial guidance?	Compare spatial production schedule conformance against plans from ATS or APS
Import or specify non-spatial guidance?	Compare production schedule targets or metrics from other plans
Import a product stream from another site for further processing in this model?	Adjust crusher feed to offset another site’s grades (to use Second Site feed)
Model wall panels and related activities	Unlocks Wall Panels tab, where you may add Activities and Wall Dependencies
