View data summaries

Note: This activity describes standard data summary logsheets. Production Accounting has another custom data summary screen, called a summary view. See View summary views.

Activity Steps

  1. Open the required Data Summary screen.
  2. Select the date or time period using the Year, Month and Day fields.
  3. Select the Shift if required.

    Note: Use the arrow buttons to select the previous or next period. Date selector previous period button Date selector next period button

  4. Click Submit.

    The data summary for the selected shift or time period displays.

    The data summary logsheet interface generally includes:

    • Sections—Display on the far left. When a data summary logsheet has multiple sections, they display as a vertical list. Logsheet sections group the data fields for particular processes, circuits, or equipment; for example, feeds, grinding, concentrators, tanks. The first section in the list is selected by default when the screen loads.
    • Subsections—Display to the right of the sections. Some sections have multiple sub-sections. Subsections group the data fields within processes, circuits, or equipment. For example, a logsheet section for the filtered product from a flotation circuit may have subsections for mass and each assay measured.
    • Subsection items—Display to the right of the subsections. Subsection items are the specific items for which data is summarised. Examples include tonnage values; moisture and assay values from various sources (like an integrated LIMS, DCS or manual override); and feed or equipment run times, throughput rates or down times. The relevant unit or symbol displays for each item; for example, %, ppm, t, g/t, h.
    • Data cells—Display to the right of the subsection items. Data cells hold the numeric values for each subsection item. Data cells in summary logsheets are read-only. These values are totals, aggregates or averages calculated from the values in data entry logsheets. For example, a month data summary has a wet mass value of 12,390 tonnes for the filtered product from a flotation circuit. The month wet mass value is calculated from the wet mass values entered in the data entry logsheets for each day of that month.

      Note: Icons may display next to data cells.

      The calculator icon is for the Calculation Tracer, used to view the inputs and calculation paths for that data value. See Calculation Traces.

    • Log Time—Displays in the top row above the data cells. Shows the date and time for which the data is summarised. All logsheet data in Production Accounting is stored against the beginning of the period that the logsheet represents. For example, a month data summary is timestamped with the first day of the month and the 'start time' of that day (often the start time of the morning shift, such as 07:00). For example, a month data summary for March 2024 has a Log Time of 01/03/2024 07:00 but the summary is of data logged from 01 to 31 March.
  5. If required, select another logsheet section from the list to view its data summary.

    Note: For some data summaries, the list of sections is long. When you select a section, its subsections, items and data cells may display centre-aligned to the vertical mid-point of the list. You may need to scroll up or down to find them.
