PS Fields

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 from 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 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.
