Details for a new mission

In the Create New Mission panel, you can include information to define the details for a new mission. The only required field when creating a mission is Mission Name. Everything you include at the time of creation can be edited later in the Mission Details page. Descriptions of the options are below.

• Mission Name—The name of the mission. A mission name is determined by the organization, organizational requirements, and the creator of the mission. A best practice is to name a mission based on the theme of that mission.

• Map—A user can create a new map or use an existing map in their portal. Using an existing map will bring any contextual layers associated with it into a mission.

• Capabilities—A user can determine which capabilities they want a mission to have. Location Tracking and Chats will always be enabled, but you can choose to include Reports and Tasks.

• Summary—A brief description of the mission. The summary appears on the View Missions tab and on the Overview tab in the Mission Details page.

• Description—Additional information that is relevant to the mission, similar to the summary. It does not appear on the View Missions tab; it appears on the ArcGIS Mission Manager Overview tab and the ArcGIS Mission Responder Mission Details page.

• Tags—Relevant tags that help with searches can be added here.

• Terms of Use—Restrictions, disclaimers, limitations, or conditions for use can be added here, based on organizational requirements.

This is not a comprehensive list of all the tools and options on the Mission Details page.

Once you add a title, choose your basemap from the map panel. Alternatively, if the map is acceptable with its default basemap and zoom extent, click Create Mission.
