Development Summary

To access this screen:

  • Activate the Survey Reports ribbon and select Development >> Development Summary.

  • Run the command "survey-development-report"

  • Use the quick keys 'sdr'

A development report summary will contain combined results from underground level reports generated by the Development task. It is similar to the blasts summary function from the open pit reporting.

Generating a combined report is a matter of giving the report a name, setting a report date, defining database filters then compiling a list of items to include (and in which order). Reports can be picked from any previously generated PDF output for the currently connected database (all reports from all declines, areas and levels are available).

The Selected Development Reports list is a subset of the reports shown above. Pick items from top to bottom and, if required, reorder using the arrows. Items in this list are not affected by filter choices above.

If you want to combine any previously-generated reports (even a combination of open pit and underground), see Combine Reports.

Selected Development Reports

Creating a summary generally involves looking at the list of available reports on your system (possibly filtered) and adding report items to the Selected Development Reports list.

A combined report is generated comprising the list of report items using the top-bottom order shown. You can also add items to the summary list from outside your database, using + to display a file browser.

Once the list contains the items you need, the buttons on the right control the layout of the report:

Add a PDF file to the list from outside the current Database
View a selected report (not available for multiple item selections)
Move the currently-selected report(s) to the top of the list. If multiple items are selected, relative positioning is maintained.
Move the currently-selected report(s) up one position in the list. If multiple items are selected, relative positioning is maintained.
Move the currently-selected report(s) down one position in the list. If multiple items are selected, relative positioning is maintained.
Move the currently-selected report(s) to the bottom of the list. If multiple items are selected, relative positioning is maintained.
Delete the currently selected report(s) from the Selected Reports list.

Create a Development Summary

To create a summary of development report items:

  1. Display the Development Summary screen.

  2. Set a Report Title, the name of the combined report. Also used for the output PDF filename. This field is required, but empty by default.

  3. Choose a Report Date.

  4. Select the Surveyor responsible for the summary report.

  5. Filter the list of Available Development Reports to make it easier to find the items for your summary:

    • Filter by Decline. If checked, select a decline from your database to filter data. Only data corresponding to the selected decline will be displayed below.
    • Filter by Area. Check to show reports associated with a particular pit area. If disabled, all areas of a development will be displayed.

    • Filter by Level. Check to show reports associated with a particular level.

    • Filter by Date. Choose a date range. All filters created between the two inclusive dates appear below.

    • Choose Latest to show only the most recently dated version of a report type below.

    Note: Report items display if they pass all active filters.

  6. Click one or more report items in the Available Development Reports list and click + to transfer them to the Selected Development Reports list.

    Tip: Use CTRL or SHIFT to select multiple report items.

  7. Use the controls on the right of the Selected Development Reports list to reorder report components.

    See Selected Development Reports.

  8. Click Create Summary to generate the summary report.
