Historical Data

Historical data is a group of values that applies to an object at a point in time. For example, you may wish to record comments about a stockpile over time. Historical data can be entered for objects specified in historical data set templates.

See Enter Historical Data for a MineMarket Object.

An historical data set template contains several parameters for historical data entry. Each parameter has a name and a data type. Historical data can only be entered using an historical data set template. The template provides data validation; for example, so that a string value cannot be entered in a numerical field. A format mask can be specified for some data types.

The historical data set template is associated with any number of MineMarket objects, and an object can be associated with any number of templates.
