Activity area legends

The Legend option on the toolbar, of the Activity Areas tab, controls how activity areas are coloured in the 3D scene. Legends help you interpret the plan visually by applying consistent colour schemes based on attributes such as activity type, pit, mining level, or schedule fields.

Colouring activity areas by allocation of resources

You can use system-defined legends or create custom legends in Config > System Configuration > Legends.

System-defined legends

Legend	Description
Activity	Colours each activity area based on its activity type. The colour comes from the activity definition in Config* > Activities.*
Single Colour	Applies one colour to all activity areas. You select the colour when you choose this option. Useful for a neutral view.
Colour Range	Applies a gradient between two colours based on a selected field (see Legend field below). Ideal for visualising numeric or ordered data.
Assigned Resources	Colours areas based on the resource assigned to them. Each resource gets a unique colour.

Legend field

When you select Colour Range, you must choose a legend field. This field determines how the gradient is applied. For example, if you select Earliest Start Date, areas scheduled earlier will appear at one end of the gradient, and later areas at the other.

Field	Description
Activity Area	Colours each area based on its name, within the selected colour range. Each activity area gets a unique colour.
Activity	Colours each area based on its activity type. Activity areas with the same activity share the same colour.
Pit	Colours activity areas by their associated pit.
Mining Level	Colours areas by their assigned mining level (bench).
Reserve Status	Colours areas based on their reserve status, which indicates whether reserves are successfully evaluated or have errors (e.g., outside pit limits or mining level is above the topography).
Dependency Status	Colours areas based on whether their dependencies have been successfully calculated (Calculated or Not Calculated).
Import Status	Colours areas based on whether they were drawn or imported.
Locked	Colours areas based on their lock state (unlocked/editable or locked/static).
Calculation Mode	Colour areas by their reserving mode (whether activity area edits are applied instantly or manually).
Resources	Colours areas based on assigned resources.
Rate Factor	Colours areas based on their production rate factor override (Resources tab > Rate Factor).
Delay Until	Colours areas based on their Delay Until date, which means the activity area is delayed or cannot occur (due to dependencies) until the determined date.
Earliest Start	Colours areas based on the their scheduled start date.
Earliest Start Period	Colours areas based on the their scheduled start period.
Latest Finish	Colours areas based on the their scheduled end date.
Latest Finish Period	Colours areas based on the their scheduled end period.
Total Completed	Colours areas based on the percentage of work to be completed (Gantt tab > Adjust Allocation).
Total Remaining	Colours areas based on the remaining percentage of work to be completed (Gantt tab > Adjust Allocation).
Destination Overrides	Colours areas based on destination overrides (each value indicates a material, associated destination, and percentage allocation).
Dependency Overrides	Colours areas based on whether they have dependency overrides (Yes/No).
GC Intersections	Colours areas based on their grade control intersections (values indicate overlapping grade control solids).
[Principal Field]	Colours areas based on a selected principal field (e.g., Volume, Mass, Plan Area, Avg Thickness, Density). Colours are assigned according to the value distribution.
