Work with the Mission Overview tab

The mission Overview tab provides a summary of your mission and provides access to many of the mission configurables. The mission summary shows the number of members, teams, map, tasks, reports, and additional materials available in the mission. Each item can be accessed from these tabs.

If you are not the mission owner, the Mission Overview tab is read-only. If you own the mission or have the supported privileges, you can use the Edit button next to the following fields:

• Name
• About this Mission
  • Summary
  • Description
  • Terms of Use
• Tags
• Mission Thumbnail

This information can be edited before or during the mission. However, this information cannot be changed once the mission enters the Complete status.

The Mission ID is also displayed next to these fields, but it is not editable. Although all mission items are grouped in a folder of a user's content, the Mission ID can be useful for locating the specific mission related items in the portal.

Change the mission thumbnail

If you are the mission owner or have the supported privileges, you can change the mission thumbnail to an image relating to your mission.

1. Click Edit Thumbnail.
2. Drag an image file (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, or .gif) or click Browse File and choose a thumbnail.
3. Choose the level of zoom and image extent that best suits your thumbnail.
4. Click Save.

Delete a mission

Mission owners and administrators can delete a mission if it is no longer needed. On the mission Overview tab, complete the following steps:

1. Click Delete Mission.

   A modal appears asking if you want to delete all or selected items.

2. Choose one of the following options:
   • Delete All—Deletes all mission items including mission item, mission dashboards, the mission map, all mission layers, all mission reports, and mission teams.
   • Delete selected items—Allows an owner to select the data they want to delete. All items that are left checked will be deleted and those which are unchecked will remain in your portals content folder.

   Note:

   By default, the mission item and mission dashboard will be deleted from every mission. If you select Delete All, all mission related content will be deleted. The only exception is where an item is shared to a team from outside ArcGIS Mission Manager. In this case, the team or teams with shared items will not be deleted.

3. Click Delete on the confirmation dialog box.

   A notification appears and returns you to the View Missions tab.

Note:

By default, the mission item and mission dashboard will be deleted from every mission.

Create a mission dashboard

A mission dashboard provides insightful views of geographic information that assist in monitoring events or activities occurring in the mission. Multiple information elements come together on a single screen to provide a comprehensive view of the mission. Although not a required element, the mission dashboard is intended to offer an engaging view of mission data that provides insights for decision making. You can only create a dashboard if you are the mission owner or an administrator who is a member of the mission. Mission Dashboards leverage ArcGIS Dashboards, a core Esri product that is included with ArcGIS Enterprise and not solely an ArcGIS Mission tool.

To create a mission dashboard, complete the following steps:

1. Go to Mission Details.
2. On the Overview tab, click Create Mission Dashboard.

   The Create Mission Dashboard modal window appears.

3. Fill out the Create Mission Dashboard modal window with the following:
   • Title—Name the dashboard.
   • Tags—Type words to make the dashboard easily searchable.
   • Summary—Add information relevant to the mission.
4. Click Create Mission Dashboard to create your dashboard. Optionally, click Cancel to return to the Mission Overview tab.

   A notification appears confirming the successful creation of the dashboard and you are directed back to the Mission Overview tab.

   The Mission Dashboard button section has two buttons: Edit to edit your dashboard or Open to open and view your dashboard.

The dashboard is saved in My Content on your portal and in the folder of your mission.

Dashboard data

After you create your mission dashboard, you can open it and view the data of your mission. Click Open Mission Dashboard to view your dashboard. By default, the following data is available:

• Active Mission Members—The number of ArcGIS Mission Manager and ArcGIS Mission Responder users within your mission.
• Mission Responder—Last Known Locations—The total track count for each Responder user to gain an understanding of where the Responder user last was on the map, as well as their current battery percentage.
• Broadcast Log—All messages sent to the mission through the broadcast tool.
• Mission map with tracks—The tracks from any Responder user on the mission map.
• Tactical Summary Reports (TSR)—A running list of any TSR reports that have been sent throughout the lifetime of your mission ordered by most recent first.
• Mission Tasks—A running list of tasks that have been sent throughout the lifetime of the mission ordered by most recent first.
• Mission Chat Log—A running list of chats that have been sent throughout the lifetime of your mission ordered by most recent first.
• Mission Filters Panel—Filter your mission dashboard based on a date and time or filter your tasks based on their current status.

The dashboard updates in real time as information comes into the mission. To expand or view a specific panel of data, hover over the panel and click the Expand button. Click the Expand button again to minimize it.

Edit the mission dashboard

After you create your mission dashboard, you can edit it. You can move, resize, duplicate, and configure the panels of data. To edit your dashboard, complete the following steps:

1. Go to Mission Details.
2. On the Mission Overview tab, click Edit.

   Your dashboard opens in a new window.

3. Optionally, change the layout of the dashboard.
4. Click Save to save your changes.

For more information, see Dashboard layout. To change the theme of your dashboard, see Change theme.

Create a mission template

Once you are satisfied with the configuration of a mission, you can easily create a template of that mission in the mission details page. A template can be created as many times as desired by a mission owner or administrator. To create a mission template, complete the following steps:

1. Go to Mission Template.
2. Select Create.
3. Provide the following information:
   • Title (required)
   • Description (required)
   • Thumbnail (optional)
4. All capabilities associated with the mission will have a green checkmark.
5. All map layers associated with the mission will be listed under the map.
6. Any reports associated with the mission are listed under the Reports tab.
7. Any materials associated with the mission are listed under the Materials tab.
8. Select Create.

Note:

If you are creating a template of a mission where indoors layers were configured in the mission Edit Map section, these configurations will not carry over when the template is reconstituted to a mission. You have to reconfigure the flooraware layers in the newly created mission.

Create a Mission Flow

Mission Flows allow mission owners and administrators to construct workflows that can keep all mission participants aware of condition changes in an active mission. Flows automate notification and communication process that would typically have to be done manually. This allows valuable personnel to focus on all aspects of the mission and not continuously monitoring indicators for changes like when a task is completed or when a report is submitted. They help extend communication between both manager and responder clients and are based on structured parameters in the form of templates composed of a condition triggering the flow to start, and an action for the flow to complete when activated. To start working with mission flows, see Mission Flows.
