View the Tasks feed

The tasks feed is in the same panel as the chat and reports feeds. Clicking a task expands it in the feed and displays the task information, including assignees, priority, due date, location coordinates, task type, description, notes included in the task, whether a report is required with it and if so which report, and when the task was last updated. A message appears in the feed if no tasks are in your mission.

The Tasks feed updates throughout the mission with any new tasks or changes to existing tasks. The tasks are displayed in the order they were last updated, with the most recent updated task at the top. You can also filter and sort the task feed to isolate specific tasks to interact with. If you are the mission owner or mission lead, you can cache tasks to remove them from the Tasks feed and mission map.

In the task feed, you can click the Zoom to tool, which centers the map on the task and displays a pop-up on the mission map showing the task information. This is only accessible when a location is assigned to the task.

Task status

The task status can be changed throughout the mission. You must be the task creator, assignee, or an administrator to change the task status. The default task symbology for all task status is a white bordered purple square. The owner or admin of a mission can assign the symbology for each status phase by accessing the mission web map in the portal contents or from an edit map session.
