Volume Report
Report Current Section's Volume
Use the Volume Report option to send the current section's volume to a file. The resulting file can be saved as a formatted ASCII text file or as a standard CSV file. This option works by loading one or more adjacent sections and calculating the volume between them. The adjacent sections used in the calculation are listed in the report file. The latter allows for easy import into spreadsheet packages, providing scope for additional analysis, if required. Note that blocks that are yet to be moved are allocated the equipment string 'INSITU'.
The option works by loading adjacent section(s). The loaded section(s) are listed in the report.
Instructions
On the Dragline menu, point to Files, and then click Volume Report to display the Volume report on current section panel.
Report file name
Enter the name of the file that will be used to store the report. To create a new file, enter the file name and file extension (.txt or .csv).

Write header lines
Select this check box to include header information about the file and the current section.
Packed columns
Select this check box to generate packed columns that are separated by a defined character. Select the CSV format option if you want the columns in the resulting reports to be separated by a single comma (,). Use the Other option if you want the columns to be separated by a character other than a comma, for example, a pipe ( | ) or just a space.
Additional constraints:
- Blocks from strip number: Select this check box if you only want the blocks from a specific strip number to be included in the resulting report.
