Subsets variables can make rules and reporting easier, by referring to groups such as "Ore Materials", "Contractor Pits", or "Stockpiles on ROM1". 

Parcel Subsets

Parcel subsets can be referenced in the Incentives, Destination Logic, Steps Logic, Constraints, and Product Specifications steps of the project. This makes it easy to update a definition (such as "Ore Materials") in many places at once.

Configure Parcel Subset dialog

To create a parcel subset

  1. Go to Reserves tab > Data panel > gear icon > Parcel Subsets dialog.

  2. Press the green plus button to create a new parcel subset.

  3. Click in the name field and rename the subset to "Ore".

  4. Tick all ore materials in the parcel list.

  5. Press OK to finish

Mutex Parcel Subsets

Mutex (mutually exclusive) parcel subsets can be referenced in the Swell Factors and Haulage Configurations steps of the project. They can be used to map all parcels into a simpler category set (ore type, rock type, weathering type, etc) to reduce data entry in the project setup. 

To create a mutex parcel subset

  1. Go to Reserves tab > Data panel > gear icon > Mutex Parcel Subsets dialog. 

  2. Press the green plus button to create a new mutex subset.

  3. Click in the name field and rename the subset to "Haulage".

  4. Categorise each parcel in the project into "Ore" or "Waste" for payload entry purposes. 

  5. Press OK to finish.

  6. Go to Setup > Haulage Configurations > Haulage Materials.

  7. Select "Haulage" from the dropdown list. 

  8. Instead of entering payloads for every single material type, Haul Infinity will now accept ore and waste. 

Record Subsets 

Record subsets can be referenced in the Destination Logic, Steps Logic, Constraints, and Product Specifications steps of the project. This makes it easy to update a definition (such as "Contractor Pits") in many places at once. 

To create a record subset

  1. Go to Reserves tab > Records panel > gear icon > Configure Record Subsets dialog.

  2. Press the green plus button to create a new mutex subset.

  3. Click in the name field to rename the subset.

  4. Tick levels in the record tree to add them to the subset. 

  5. Press OK to finish. 

Stockpile Mutex Subsets

Stockpile mutex subset can be referenced in the schedule reporting filters. This makes it easy to report inventory on a set of stockpiles (such as "ROM1") with a single reference. 

To create a stockpile mutex subset

  1. Go to Setup > Stockpiles > Stockpile Mutex Subsets.

  2. Press the blue plus button to add a new subset. 

  3. Click in the name field and rename the subset to "Regions". 

  4. Click in the Subset Name column to categorise each stockpile name by region. 

  5. Press the blue play icon to finish.Â
