Access and create templates

In ArcGIS Mission Manager, administrators and those with access to create missions can create and use mission templates. Mission templates provide organizations with the ability to quickly standup missions that are similar in nature to previous ones. Mission templates are snapshots of a mission with all its contents except members and teams ready to be turned into a new mission. Mission template items can also be shared among the organization.

Mission templates are found by accessing the User Settings dropdown menu in the Mission landing page.
