In the Map Fields step, the user maps the values from the inventory files into the Reserve Database fields. 

Destination Tables

Go through the list of phases and assign each phase to a Destination Table.

Select the destination table for each phase in the list

If you do not wish to import the blocks, set the destination table to "<Skip>".

Block and parcel mappings can be copied from any row in the left panel (<CTRL+C>) and pasted in the next row (<Ctrl+V>).

Block Mappings

In the Block Mappings panel, populate the Name levels, Misc fields and Drilling fields, etc, by dragging and dropping items from the inventory file headers. 

Map across all the fields required to resolve error messages

Parcel Mappings

In the Parcel Mappings panel, populate the Mining fields and Product fields, etc, by dragging and dropping items from the inventory reserves fields.

If you wish to map fields which may be missing from the inventory files (shown in orange above) make sure Ignore Missing Fields in Parcels is ticked. 

To leave a mapping blank, toggle Ignore Missing Fields in Parcels to true.

Error Messages

Incorrect block or parcel mapping won’t let you to proceed to the next step. All the errors messages, listed in the bottom panel must be fixed.

Resolve the following error messages:

Invalid Reserves

The block/parcel (OpenPit/M1/P1/S1/712/1/1:w) must have values for volume, dry tonnes, and wet tonnes, or 0s in each.

Locate this block in Rapid Reserver and check the reserves. Chances are that the block model has negative or zero density due to air blocks. To fix use the formulas provided in RR. Block Model Formulas.

Duplicate Blasts

The names of the records were not unique. This is likely due to a mismapping of record names. Check name: OpenPit/M1/P1/P101/890/4000.

Create a report in Rapid Reserver and locate the duplicate blocks. You may need to change the level names or the blast names to prevent name collisions.
