ArcGIS Mission Manager is a web app that allows you to create and interact with missions. Depending on organizational requirements, this can include the following:
- Creating mission maps, which can include graphics, overlays, or other reference layers
- Organizing a mission with members and teams
- Creating and leveraging mission reports
- Providing materials for missions, such as documents and photos
- Supporting active missions
- Overseeing Responder activity during missions
Most of the preparation for missions is done through ArcGIS Mission Manager. This involves using various map tools, separating ArcGIS Mission users by their roles, and providing supporting materials for both Manager and Responder users. See Create a mission for information on how to use these tools.
Once the mission is active, ArcGIS Mission Manager users can track the location and activity of Responder users, update or correct map overlays and graphics, provide new information to users as necessary, or relay information between teams. All of this can be done in real time. See Participate in a mission in ArcGIS Mission Manager for more information on how you can use Manager to participate in a mission.
View missions
The View Missions tab allows you to search a list of all the missions you can access, as well as review the summary and status of those missions.
Note:
A mission can be set to draft, active, or complete. See Mission status to learn how status affects the ways you can interact with a mission.
Create a mission
From the landing page, select Create a mission. The following topics discuss the first steps to take when using ArcGIS Mission Manager:
Mission details
The Mission Details section focuses on the aspects of Manager that deal with adding resources and information to an existing mission. This includes explanations of how to do the following:
- Interact with the Overview tab
- Select mission members and add them to a mission
- Create and organize mission teams
- Use map tools to create mission maps
- Preview, create, and leverage reports used in your mission.
- Provide materials and view suggestions for using them
- Create and work with Mission Dashboard
- Create a mission template
Mission analyst experience
The mission analyst experience topics focus on using ArcGIS Mission Manager in active missions. This section includes explanations of how to do the following:
- Read the active mission map
- Send a chat, create a task, and submit a report
- Use tools to conduct measurements and run proximity-based analysis during real-time missions
- Use the tools in the Chats, Tasks, and Reports feeds
Web-tier authentication
ArcGIS Mission Manager supports web-tier authentication patterns such as Built-In, IWA, LDAP, PKI, and SAML, allowing users to sign in to secure portals that have been configured for it. For more information, see Web-tier authentication.
Access the QR code
Manager users can view the QR code from any screen inside the ArcGIS Mission Manager app. This allows them to disseminate the code to Responder users for quick and efficient portal logins. Access the portal QR code by using the following steps:
- Open ArcGIS Mission Manager.
- Locate and click the QR code button at the top of the screen, near the profile icon.
This can be done from any Manager screen.
- View the QR code.
From this view, the QR code can be scanned and used by ArcGIS Mission Responder users to enter the portal. Using the Print QR Code button allows you to share the QR code in a variety of ways. This can be especially useful when preparing for a mission, as it ensures all Responder users can enter the portal as the mission begins.
