2. Configure the Setup

Source file: 2-origin-blocks-setup-configure.htm

Once an Origin Blocks setup is created, it needs to be configured so that it contains the necessary information for schedule generation.

Origin Blocks setup configuration is divided into a number of tabs. Each tab represents an aspect of the setup the software requires to schedule the mine. The following is a list of tabs that need to be configured for an Origin Blocks setup to be ready for server submission:

• Process Setup: Used to add process flow components to a setup.
• Objectives: Used to define specific outcomes the schedule aims to achieve.
• Calendar: Used to define targets per period.
• Staging: Used to define stage constraints per period.
• Mining: Used define a miscellaneous set of setup constraints.
• Constraints: Used to define a set of setup constraints per period.
• Other: Used to define constraints surrounding schedule generation, add reporting items to the schedule report and define grade bins (optional).
• Viewer: Provides a 3D display of models within the setup.
