All missions in a project are shown on the Missions tab of the project dashboard. All missions flown in the ArcGIS Flight app appear automatically after syncing the iPad with the cloud. Missions that you create manually from Site Scan Manager and ArcGIS Flight will also appear in the mission list.
By default, missions are sorted chronologically. You can also sort missions alphabetically by changing the Sort By field above the missions list.
You can pin missions to the top of the list if you frequently visit certain missions. Click the favorites button to create a favorite mission, and this will pin the mission to the top of the list each time you visit the Missions tab of the project dashboard.
To view missions in a grid view instead of a list view, click the Grid View button in the upper right under the New Mission button. This option displays a thumbnail of the orthomosaic for missions that are processed.
Each mission in the list contains important information about that mission:
- Mission status (see below for status descriptions, shown in List View only)
- Flight mode (see below for flight modes)
- Mission name and date
- Option to export data products
- Additional options to edit, merge, or delete the mission
There are three statuses that a mission can have:
- Not Processed—This mission was flown (or created manually) but does not have processed outputs. This is common if the mission was flown in the ArcGIS Flight app, but the images have not yet been uploaded to Site Scan Manager.
- Processing—The mission is currently undergoing processing.
- Processed—The mission has been processed. You can view processed outputs such as the orthomosaic and point cloud.
Missions also show the flight mode used to capture data. This includes all flight modes offered in the ArcGIS Flight app, as well as others:
- Area
- Crosshatch
- Perimeter
- Inspection
- Vertical
- Panorama
- Corridor
- Merged mission
- Unknown
