Activity Areas tab

The Activity Areas tab lists activity areas and their properties in a grid layout. Each row in the grid represents an activity area and the columns hold the field values.

Selecting rows in the grid will select the areas in the 3D Scene.

Tab menu

The Activity Areas menu above the grid controls the display options for the activity areas.

Colour Range - Colours based on the colour range and the Legend Field. Assigned Resource - The colour of the assigned resource. Resource colour is configured in XECUTE Config > Configuration > Resources
10	Opacity	The opacity of activity area faces (all display styles except Polygon).
11	Annotations	Click the annotation icon to make all enabled annotation rules visible in the Scene . Click the dropdown arrow > Annotation Rules to configure a rule or create a new rule. Click the dropdown arrow > select a rule Name to display the annotations in the Scene. For more information see Annotations.
12	Notifications	A yellow notification shows the number of Activity areas that need attention. Mouse over the notification for a summary tooltip, for more details click the Warnings/Schedule Status bar in lower left of the application window.

Grid Fields

The table below describes the Activity Area grid columns.

Field	Description
Legend	The display colour of the area as set in XECUTE Config > System Configuration > Activities > Activity> Activity Definition > Display Colour.
Activity Area	The name of the area, the name template is set in XECUTE Config > System Configuration > Activities > Activity> Activity Definition > Naming Convention. Once the name is set from the template, the name is not updated as the template name part variable values change.
Activity	The activity type of the area.
Pit	The pit associated with the area.
Mining Level	The mining level assigned to the area, the list of available levels is determined from the Pit > Mining Level Group property set in XECUTE Config.
Reserve Status	The solid creation and reserving status of the area. Status values include: Edited - the area is currently being edited. Created - solid is created. Generating Surface. Surface Generated. Slicing - creating the area slices. Sliced - activity area slices have been created; this is the end of the solid geometry steps and the start of the dependency calculations. Reserving - the area is reserving against the block model. Evaluated - the reserving results are ready. Error [message] - the area has errors and can not be reserved. If flagged as in error, the area will not be re-reserved by the service unless manually triggered (Re-Reserve).
Dependency Status	The status of the dependency calculation. Status values include: Not Calculated - the dependencies have not been calculated. Calculating - the task dependencies are currently being calculated. Calculated - the dependency calculation is complete and the reserving Status value is up to date. Error - the dependency calculation has failed, or is incomplete.
Import Source	The ID of the import source if the area was imported from Guidance, Grade Control or Feature Layers.
Locked	Whether or not the area is locked against edits.
Calculation Mode	The calculation mode of the area. On Change (default) will automatically update the area reserves, On Demand allows you to manually trigger a reserving operation.
Resources	A concatenated list of Resources assigned to the area.
Rate Factor	The production rate factor for the activity area. The production rate acting on the area is the sum of (Resource production rate * Activity Area Rate Factor x Resource Period Overrides factor) for each resource assigned to the area.
Delay Until	The scheduling start date of the activity area if a Delay Until date is set.
Earliest Start	The date when the area is first scheduled to be mined (the start date of first associated task in the Gantt).
Earliest Start Period	The period number corresponding to the 'Earliest Start' date
Latest Finish	The date when the area has finished scheduling (the end date of last associated task in the Gantt).
Latest Start Period	The period number corresponding to the 'Latest Start' date.
Total Completed	The percentage of the area that has been mined in the schedule based on the activity quantity field (XECUTE Config > System Configuration > Activities > Activity> Activity Definition > Quantity Field).
Total Remaining	The percentage of the area remaining to be mined in the schedule based on the activity quantity field.
Destination Overrides	Yes if destination overrides are set for the area.
Dependency Overrides	Yes if dependency overrides are set for the area.
GC Intersections	The percentage of the activity area that intersects grade control shapes
GradeControl Intersections	List of grade control shapes that intersect the activity area.
Principal Fields	The system and user defined enabled principal fields for the activity as set in XECUTE Config > System Configuration > Activities > Activity> Relevant Fields.

Context menu

Actions can be performed on one or more selected activity areas, right click the selected rows to open the menu.

Mined out areas have a limited set of available actions .

Field	Description
Zoom To	Zooms the scene to the selected activity areas.
Recreate	Recreates the activity area shape. Will also re-reserve the area if Calculation Mode is set to On Change (recommended).
Re-evaluate	Re-reserves the activity area. If Calculation Mode is On Demand the area must have a status of Sliced before it can be re-evaluated.
Calculation Mode	Set the activity area to re-reserve on demand or on change.
Locking	Lock the selected activity areas.
Assign Resources	Opens the Assign Resources panel to assign resources to the areas.
Assign Destinations	Opens the Assign Destinations panel to assign destinations to the areas.
Delay Until	Opens the Set Delay Until Date control to add defer when activity area can be scheduled in the Gantt.
Update Rate Factor	Opens the dialog to update the activity area rate factor.
Change Activity	Change the activity type for the selected areas.
Change Mining Level	Change the mining level for the selected activity areas.
Clone	Clone the selected activity areas.
Merge	Merge two adjacent activity areas.
Delete	Delete the activity areas.

Grid controls

Filters

The grid can be filtered using the search bar found at the upper right of the tab window - this will filter the activity areas based on a fuzzy text match.

To filter a column on the field values or build filter rules hover over the column header and click the Funnel icon.

Filter rules can also be set for any field by right-clicking a column header > Filter Editor. The filter editor allows for compound filter rules.

Compound filter rules can also be opened by clicking the Pencil icon in the lower left of the grid.

A summary of the applied filters is shown in the lower left of the tab window, turn the filter ON\OFF by clicking the check box to the left of the filter summary.

Selection

Selecting a single row highlights the activity area in the 3D Scene. You can select multiple rows using the Ctrl and Shift keys. Likewise, selecting one or more activity areas in the 3D Scene will highlight them in the grid.

Copy and Paste to Excel

The selected rows can be copied to Excel by copying (Ctrl+C) and then pasting (Ctrl+V) in Excel.

Columns can also be hidden with the Column Chooser option. Right-click the column header to open the context menu.

To change the order of a column, click the header, then drag and drop, as shown in the animation below. The grid layout and filter settings are saved in the user's XECUTE cache folder for each site and will persist when XECUTE is reopened.
