Manually scheduling selected blocks
Overview
This section of the tutorial demonstrates how to manually schedule selected blocks. Prerequisites

Complete the Destinations and Stockpiles section. Files required for the exercise:
_vb_2benches.dm
Exercise: Manually Schedule Selected Blocks Filtering the view in the Design Window 1. Following on from the previous exercise, In the Sheets control bar (Design window section), select only _vb_2benches.dm file (disable everything else). 2. Redraw the display, and In the View Control toolbar, click Zoom Extents. You should see a bench plan in the Design window as shown below:
3. In the Loaded Data control bar, right-click _vb_2benches (strings) and select Data Object Manager.... 4. In the _vb_2benches (strings) - Data Object Manager dialog, select _vb_2benches.dm (strings). 5. In the Data Object tab, Filter group, click Expression Builder.... 6. In the Expression Builder dialog, Expression group, enter the expression "Colour=9 and PCNTUPTO <100" (without the quotes), and click OK. 7. Click Apply. This expression will hide blocks that have been mined completely. The blocks that have been hidden are at a different elevation to the current elevation (which is set to -10 in Z). As such, the display of the screen will not look any different when Apply is clicked as the only filtered data is located at the -30 Z elevation. 8. In the _vb_2benches (strings) - Data Object Manager dialog, select Data | Close. Selecting the Block to Schedule 1. In the main menu, select View | Customization | Toolbars | ISTS Control if the ISTS Control toolbar is not

already displayed (you can see it below):
2. In the ISTS Control toolbar, ensure that [Period 1 - [Date]] is displayed in the current period drop-down list (as shown above). 3. In the Design window, select block 13, indicated below, by clicking inside the segment.
4. In the ISTS task pane, select Scheduling from the drop-down list to update the menu:
5. With the new menu displayed, select the Check | Show/Hide Reserves bar option. This will display the reserves table as shown below (resize the control bars so you can see all of it):
6. In the Reserves control bar, confirm that values are displayed for the following categories:

LOW_GRADE MARGINAL WASTE (The HIGH_GRADE row will contain only zeroes)
You can adjust the columns displayed, and their order by right-clicking in the table and selecting Grid Format.... The reserves table will automatically update each time a new block is selected. Scheduling the Selected Block 1. Make sure block 13 is selected, and In the ISTS Task Pane, select Scheduling | Manual Scheduling | Schedule Selected Blocks.... 2. In the Schedule Activities dialog, Loading (manual) row, click Schedule... in the Action column.
Pgina 3 de 8
3. In the Schedule Selected Blocks dialog, Material Movement tab, Loader column, TOTAL row, select [LDR1l] from the Set All drop-down list.
4. Confirm that Selective Mining is not selected. 5. Deselect Hide Empty Categories (the HIGH_GRADE category is currently empty so disabling this option forces it to be displayed in the table) and click OK. 6. A Studio 3 dialog is displayed that states that the processing capacity of PLANT will be exceeded - this is expected as the currently selected block contains more than the PLANT destination can handle in terms of processing capacity - click No. This will ensure that the amount that is mined is restricted to the maximum permissible volume set by the PLANT, in this case 5,000 tonnes. 7. In the ScheduleSelectedBlocksdialog, confirm that the value in the Percent column has been reduced to 14.34% for all categories, in line with the above logic. 8. In the ScheduleSelectedBlocksdialog, click OK. 9. A Studio 3 dialog is displayed which states that the processing capacity of LEACHPAD will be exceeded, again click No. 10. In the ScheduleSelectedBlocksdialog, confirm that the value in the Percent column has been reduced to 12.75% for all categories. At this stage, the values set are appropriate for both the existing PLANT and LEACHPAD destinations. 11. In the Schedule Selected Blocks dialog, click OK. 12. A Studio 3 dialog is displayed which states that the capacity of LDR1 will be exceeded - click No. This time, ISTS has calculated that the available machinery hours associated with the LDR1 Loader is higher than is available, according to the settings made previously (in terms of capacity of machine and available hours according to the maintenance calendar).
