Feature Requests and Issues / Google Maps Issues
« on: January 15, 2016, 03:48:54 PM »
I've had a problem with google maps that I think showed up in the past month or so.  I can't use Google Streets or Google Physical maps unless I first select Google Satellite or Google Hybrid maps.  Once I look at the satellite maps, I can use all of the google maps normally, until open a new browser window. 


I've seen this on both Chrome and Firefox browsers, Windows and Linux machines.  I have also seen this both logged into my account and not.

Feature Requests and Issues / Plans tab
« on: November 06, 2014, 06:20:05 PM »
Could you add a tab that is nearly identical to the Teams tab,  but for the Plans section?  We don't currently have a good place for the Plans section to work.  They typically write their plans in the Teams tab, but someone in Operations frequently assigns a plan before it's finished, or changes it on accident.  I think this has happened at most searches I've worked on. 


I think ideally, I'd like to see a new tab called Plans, or something similar, Objectives and Notes fields similar to the Teams tab.  We could probably dispense with all the personnel stuff.  A short text field for Recommended Resources and one for Priority would be very useful, particularly if we could sort the plans by priority.

Exporting the whole map project is a little problematic for me.  Can it be changed to export just what is displayed?  I often don't want to give a team all the map features, like assignments from previous operational periods.  It quickly gets confusing on their GPS devices.

Announcements / Re: New Mission Manager Email Relay Feature
« on: October 08, 2014, 07:44:11 PM »
This feature is becoming very unpopular with my team.  Messages get sorted by sender in their phones and many can't change this.  As a result, they now have dozens of new message chains to sort through, rather than one from the SAR team.  Is there a way to have a fixed reply email address?  We have our own email system for coordinators that would likely integrate easily.

I've been loving the ability to login to the accounts for both of my teams with one set of credentials.  Lately I've been needing to switch back and forth a bit for some administrative tasks, and it seems to require me to log out, then log back in.  I tried making a browser link to this:
https://www.radishworks.com/MissionManager/Login.php?Page=MultiTeam
...but that doesn't seem to work.  Is there an easy way to do this?  Maybe a new button or link down by the "Logout" and "Change Password" stuff would work.

Feature Requests and Issues / Re: RSVP in email

Would that work for regular events on the calendar?  I was under the impression that those email responses would only work with mission responses.

Feature Requests and Issues / Map Layer Request
« on: August 18, 2013, 10:55:27 PM »
I think adding overlays for cell coverage or tower locations of the big national service providers would be very useful.  I'm often hunting around for that information and having it in Mission Manager would be great.

Unfortunately, when I did a little poking around I didn't find much in the way of data sources.  The most promising thing I found was a planned API by the folks at OpenSignal, but I don't think it's quite what we want.

General Mission Manager Discussion / SPOT Team Tracking
« on: June 23, 2013, 10:35:22 PM »
I recently had a SAR colleague ask me about integrating the SPOT service with Mission Manager to track field teams.  I know next to nothing about SPOT, but after reading the Post Location API, I can't imagine it would be that hard to write a script to dump the data into a mission.  Does anyone know anything about how the SPOT service works?  Do they have an API that we could hook up to?

Feature Requests and Issues / Re: Calendars, Emails and Privacy
« on: June 06, 2013, 12:15:59 PM »
That work's pretty good.  For some reason that wasn't obvious to me.  I'll let my team know that they can search for people who aren't on the list of members if they need to get in touch with someone.  Thanks.

Feature Requests and Issues / Re: SARApp Interface not working
« on: June 06, 2013, 12:02:10 PM »
I've had similar issues in the past.  My fix was to make a really big area that gets assigned to everyone, but I'm not sure that's such a great solution.  I wonder if there is a more dynamic way to use SARApp and Mission Manager to track without search areas.

Feature Requests and Issues / Calendars, Emails and Privacy
« on: June 06, 2013, 11:57:39 AM »
After getting added to a new team's Mission Manager account recently, I came across a new issue.  There are people on that team who can make calendar items that send me notifications,  but I don't know who these people are or have their email addresses.  Since I don't have permission to see contact info for all the units on this team, I can't look them up to send an email and ask a question. 


Can you add a button to calendar events that brings up a form and sends them an email from me, so I can ask things like "Can I come to this event?"?  That would allow me to ask questions, give them my email address, and let them decide if they want to respond and how.

Feature Requests and Issues / Custom Roster Printing Issue
« on: February 28, 2013, 07:17:30 PM »
I'm having trouble printing a member roster.  When I deselect items, like Division and ID, they still show up on the printout.  The 'Lines per page' portion seems to work correctly.  I've tried it in firefox and chrome.

That makes sense to me.  Thanks!

Feature Requests and Issues / Calendar Maybe Responses
« on: February 12, 2013, 07:30:44 PM »
I often respond 'Maybe' early on to calendar emails.  Most of my team uses the "until member responds" option, so I forget to decide when the event nears.  Could you add a check-box for "Continue receiving notifications" when someone responds 'Maybe'?

General Mission Manager Discussion / Missing Certification
« on: December 20, 2012, 10:11:09 PM »
I've been trying to sort out a strange issue and I think I'm about out of ideas.  My team uses the default "Join Date" field and I recently asked people to check theirs and notify me if they didn't match with when they came on the team.  I got a response that no one can see their join dates under certifications and expirations.  I made a test account and it looks like the join date is only visible if "Edit Certs and Expirations" is checked, which I don't want to check for everyone.  Any idea what's going on?
