LRS Mine Mapping Tool User Manual
Introduction The LRS Mine Mapping Tool has been created as a resource to assist in accessing the locations, owners and contact details for management and worker leaders on SADC mines. It holds the details for all the currently producing mines in the SADC region linked to the owner and worker details as these are captured. The drop down lists below allow you to move through the details of a mine either through the owning company or the operation itself. Reports provide concise summaries of the information on companies and operations and can be printed or emailed from the site.
The purpose of this manual is to introduce you to the navigation and features that you will see and use while using the Mine Mapping Tool.
Common Screen Elements The LRS Mine Mapping Tool is designed so that certain elements remain constant throughout the entire application. These elements include, but are not limited to the colours of the screens and where information is located on the screens.
Menu Bar The Menu Bar is located at the top of your screen. The menu bar contains the command buttons used to navigate screen- by-screen through the application.

Breadcrumb navigation bar The breadcrumb navigation bar is a navigation aid used in the Mine Mapping Tool to allow users to keep track of their locations while navigating mine information. The term comes from the trail of breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel in the popular fairytale. The breadcrumb trail appears horizontally across the top of a web page, below the menu bar. It provides links to related pages to the current one.
For example, if the user is viewing company information (Anglo American Platinum), the breadcrumb navigation bar displays links to:
Home - Go to the home page View All Companies - View a list of all the Companies loaded in the Mime Mapping Tool View Operations - View all the operations linked to the Company View regional offices – View a list of regional offices of this company
Title Header The Title Header is located below the breadcrumb navigation bar. The Title Header displays information about the current page.
Application Work Area The application work area is located in the center of the screen below the Menu Bar and Breadcrumb trail. It has a white background. It is the area of the screen where application activity is performed such as viewing information or selecting links to other areas of the application.

Navigating the Mine Mapping Tool
Lists The Mine Mapping Tool uses grids on various pages. The grids are used to show the user that multiple entities or options exist in relation to the previous selection.
The user scans the list of available options and selects the relevant action icon associated with the option. By hovering the mouse pointer over an action icon, the action associated with the action icon will be displayed. For example, if the user selects Company List in the menu bar, a list of all the companies captured in the Mine Mapping Tool is displayed. In addition to the Company Name, Company Type and Country, the user can select one of the action icons to go to another related page.
Should the user hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the “View Operations” label will appear which indicates to the user that when clicked on, the Operations of the African Barrick Gold company will be displayed.

Searching lists By default, all the entities are displayed when a list page loads. To speed up the loading time, only 8 rows at a time appear. If you need to search for a specific entity, enter the description in the search box and click the Search button. All entities matching the search string will be listed. For example searching for “African” will result in 6 rows being returned – all containing the word “African” in the Company name.

Should no Company names match your search criteria, a “no records found” message will be displayed. In the example below, the users searched for “Africans”.
Paging through the entity descriptions The Company descriptions are listed alphabetically, 8 records at a time. In order to navigate to the next 8 descriptions, click the numerical paging links at the bottom of the list. The current page number will be black and the other pages that can be jumped to are red.
