Maintain Operators

For some actions, you can record which person (that is, 'operator') performed the action. For each operator, you can specify competencies with expiry dates. The competencies limit the available operators. For example, when you enter data for drilling, only operators with the Drill Operator competency display for selection; and in BlastPad, only operators with the Shotfirer competency can prime holes.

When drill data is imported from another system, it is matched to the operator by their ID number for that external system.
