Navigation Pane
Located on the left of the MineMarket screen, the navigation pane displays the Solution Explorer, Process Diagram Explorer, Property Window, Process Diagram Overview and Task Pane.
In MineMarket, everything is considered to be an 'object'. These objects represent things in the real world, such as products, stockpiles, organisations, contracts and reports. The tabs of the navigation pane display or provide access to many objects and their properties.
Security Note: There are user group security rights in the Menu security rights group that control the visibility of tabs of the navigation pane.
Navigation Pane Tabs
The navigation pane has several tabs.
Solution Explorer
The Solution Explorer has expandable nodes that display or provide access to many MineMarket objects and their properties. The objects accessed via the Solution Explorer are organised under tabs, which, when selected, display the following panels: Supply Chain, Quality, Material, Organisations, Transport and Reporting.
You can choose which panels to display in the Solution Explorer, and you can reorder the panels.
Supply Chain Panel
The Supply Chain panel of the Solution Explorer displays objects that represent the physical supply chain (such as locations, mine sources and stockpiles, material flows, equipment, transaction and survey editors) and user groups, which are used to manage users and the security rights that allow or deny them access to MineMarket objects and functionality.
Quality Panel
The Quality panel of the Solution Explorer displays objects required for sampling and quality control, including analytes and analyte groups, result types, sampling and specification templates, and contributors.
Material Panel
The Material panel of the Solution Explorer displays objects that represent products, brands, and other materials such as waste and supply materials.
Organisations Panel
The Organisations panel of the Solution Explorer displays objects that represent organisations, internal companies, and districts, and templates for contracts, costs, contract links and data links.
Transport Panel
The Transport panel of the Solution Explorer displays objects that represent transport vehicles (trucks, trains, barges, vessels and tugs), transport operators, transport events, draft parameters, and transport routes.
Reporting Panel
The Reporting panel of the Solution Explorer displays objects required to produce reports and billboards for the purposes of viewing and analysing the logistical, financial and supply chain data available in MineMarket.
Process Diagram Explorer
The Process Diagram Explorer provides access to the Process Flow Diagram screen, which can be used to create visual diagrams of parts of the supply chain and the processes that connect them.
Property Window
The Property Window displays additional information about the active screen or the selected object on the active screen. This information includes object IDs, extended data and export mappings.
Process Diagram Overview
Diagrams on the Process Flow Diagram screen can be large and complex. The Process Diagram Overview provides the ability to zoom in to view detail in large process diagrams.
Task Pane
A task pane is a grouped list of shortcuts or bookmarks to favourite MineMarket objects. The task pane can be customised and assigned to a user group so that when a user within the user group runs the application, they always see their customised task pane.
The task pane is located in the navigation pane on the left of the MineMarket screen.
Other Explorers and Editors
Some screens in MineMarket are referred to as 'explorers'; for example, the Despatch Order Explorer, Transaction Explorer, and Invoice Explorer. These explorers are usually launched from icons on the ribbon menus.
Most explorers help you search for, view and access specific kinds of objects. At the top of most explorer screens is a Criteria section that contains search criteria fields; for example, date ranges, search text fields, and other drop-down lists or fields related to the explorer's object type. The bottom section of an explorer screen usually displays a grid of objects matching the search criteria and may contain other sections or tabs with additional details. Objects that are hyperlinked in the explorer search results can be clicked to open that object or screen.
Some screens in MineMarket are referred to as 'editors'; for example, the Analyte Definition Editor, Calendar Editor and Pricing Editor. These editors are usually launched from icons on the ribbon menus.
Editors help you view, enter and update specific kinds of data that are used throughout MineMarket.
See Menus for links to different explorers and editors.
