Stockpiles

Source file: stockpiles.htm

The Stockpiles page allows users to view, manage, and analyse all stockpiles in the system. Stockpiles are listed in a customisable, searchable table with configurable columns and filtering by zone category or individual zones. Selecting a stockpile displays further details and options for editing, adjusting, or clearing. Data can be exported as a Microsoft Excel file (.xlsx) for reporting and analysis.

Filtering and searching stockpiles

All stockpiles are listed by default. The table is customisable, allowing users to reposition columns and change their sort order. Additional filtering is available through the search bar and the column-selection drop-down list, making it easy to organise information for reporting and analysis.

• Enter a keywords in the Search field to find matches in all active columns, except for Last Activity.

• Open the Categories drop-down, using the checkboxes to select those to include or exclude.

• Open the Zones drop-down, using the checkboxes to select those to include or exclude.

• Open the Displaying x/y columns drop-down list, using the checkboxes to select which to view or hide. Hidden columns are excluded from search queries.

• Reorder item in the Displaying x/y columns drop-down list by dragging them up or down.

Click to see the stockpile columns

Key	The unique identifier used by MaterialMRT
Zone	The name of the zone that the stockpile is located in.
Zone Category	An attribute that defines the zone’s purpose and functional behaviour
Status	A simple description of current activity
Age	The age of the stockpile, measured in seconds
Last Activity	The date and time that the last activity occurred
Mass	The mass of the stockpile

Stockpile details and tools

The details panel displays information for the selected stockpile. Click a stockpile in the list to populate its details. The information is organised into two sections, as follows:

• General information is a summary of the stockpile.

  Click to see general information definitions

  Stockpile Name	The name given to the stockpile, which is displayed at the top of the general information section of the details panel. The stockpile name can be changed by entering a new one in its field and clicking to confirm.
  Parent Zone	The zone where the stockpile is located, which is also listed in the Zones column.
  Area	The area of the boundary around the stockpile.
  Mass	The tonnage of all material in the stockpile.
  Centroid	The central coordinates of the stockpile area. Click on the blue pin () to open an instance of the Viewer page in the browser. The parent zone and pin will be displayed in this view.
  Boundary Behaviour	Indicates if the stockpile boundary is static A static zone can expand beyond the size of the parent zone to include additional material but will not collapse inside the parent zone, even if the stockpile is empty.  or dynamic Dynamic boundaries are recalculated as the stockpile changes. The boundary follows the outer extremities of stockpile material using a convex model algorithm. .

• Properties associated with the stockpile are itemised in a list showing the property and its associated value.

  • Hover over a property in the list to view a tooltip showing the data for its property (the style of output depends on the property type).

  • Clicking on a hyperlink under Trips opens an instance of the Trip Editor with the trip listed.

The details panel also includes tools that allow you to do the following:

	Create a surface of a stockpile and save it as either an AutoCad (.dxf), Vulcan triangulation (.00t), or Wavefront (.obj) format. To use the Export Surface tool, follow these steps: Click to open the Export to Surface File panel. Select the File Type from the drop-down list. Click to save the file to your computer. The file naming follows this convention: <Stockpile Name><format> (.dfx , .00t, or .obj)
	Export the selected stockpile and its associated properties to a comma-separated values (.csv) file compatible with a Vulcan sub-blocked model. To use the Export as ASCII tool, click . A ZIP file containing a comma-separated values (.csv) file is created. Each are named as follows: <Stockpile Name>Activity Date and time .zip and <Stockpile Name>.csv Example:  SP_W2 Ascii Model.zip and SP_W2.CSV
	Click the button to open the Adjust stockpile volume panel, then enter the adjusted value. The adjusted volume proportionately scales underlying properties, including mass and cuboid heights, without altering the base area.
	Click the button to remove all material from the selected stockpile. When the Clear stockpile panel opens, click to confirm.
	This button is displayed if an unallocated stockpile is selected (its properties are not automatically displayed). Click the button to display its properties.

Exporting a Stockpiles table

The stockpiles table can be downloaded as a Microsoft Excel file. The contents are displayed as arranged by your filter and sort settings.

To export a stockpiles table to a Microsoft Excel (.xlxs ) file, follow these steps:

1. Filter and arrange the required data in stockpile tables as needed. See Filtering and searching stockpiles.

2. Click to export the report. The file is saved to the browser's downloads folder and named as:

   Stockpiles_<Date>T<Time>.xlsx

   where:

   • Stockpiles_ Is the prefix defining a Stockpiles page export file.

   • <Date> is the date of creation (matching the system clock), expressed as year-month-day).

   • T<Time> is the time of creation (matching the system clock), expressed as (hours_minutes).

   Example:  Stockpiles_2017-10-24T07_02.xlsx
