Mission Manager

The Mission Manager is COBRA's newest collaborative tool that expounds upon and is meant to be the hub for what was previously known as "Mission Requests". Mission Requests once fell under the Request Manager Tool but is now a completely separate module. This tool provides easy viewing and management of Mission-critical information including Locational, Personnel, and Request data, while keeping each Mission unique to an Incident, meaning they cannot be seen or accessed by other incidents. 

Navigation:

1. Click on Main Menu.
2. Click on Collaboration Tab.
3. Choose Mission Manager to access the tool.

Mission Manager Landing Page

Allows for easy viewing and management of Missions in an incident while also specifically showing the user all of the current missions. From the Main Mission Manager page a user can:

• Add New Missions- Users can create a new mission within their current incident for their organization.
• Export to Excel- Moves the entire Mission Manager table and related information to an excel document for saving or distribution.

• Location- View the Mission in a new tab on the Main Map centered on the mission location.
• View- View current Missions and related information without the ability to change any data.
• Edit- This allows the user to view and edit all fields and have access to all page options.
