Action

The Action group of the Charging ribbon contains tools to create charge and tie-up sheets.

Create Charge Sheet

Charge sheet is an interface created to record and store charge data for a selection of holes. Charge sheets are created using the desktop application and then accessed on the tablet application against which operators can enter data.

To create a charge sheet, follow these steps:

  1. Select all holes from the blast via the data explorer, or a subset of holes from a blast loaded in the view window. The blast needs to be published (for information regarding publishing blasts, see Publishing a Blast).
  2. Go to Charging ribbon > Action group > Create Charge Sheet to open the Create Charge Sheet panel.
  3. Specify whether to create a new sheet or append to existing sheet by selecting the corresponding radio button.

  4. Enter any Sheet instructions. These instructions will be shown on the cover page of the printable charge sheet.

  5. Select the options you would like to add to either a physical sheet (PDF sheet properties) or a virtual sheet (accessed on the tablet):
    • Charge mass tolerance (%). The maximum tolerated difference between the planned charge mass and the loaded charge mass.
    • Charge length tolerance (metres). The maximum tolerated difference between the planned charge length and the loaded charge length.
    • Stemming length tolerance (metres). The maximum tolerated difference between the planned stemming length and loaded stemming length.
  6. Click OK.
  7. The charge sheet will appear under the Sheets container belonging to the affected blast. A PDF version of the newly created blank charge sheet will be displayed on the screen. Any blast properties which have been marked as Area of mine will be displayed on the cover page alongside the sheet instructions. A summary of total blast product usage will also be shown on the cover page of the charge sheet.

Note:  You can also create a new sheet by right-clicking the Sheets container of the corresponding blast on the explorer panel.
