Feature Requests and Issues / More Hint Messages on screens
« on: October 22, 2014, 11:17:00 AM »
Is it possible to get hint message options in some of the Missions Screens? Specifically we would like have the Hint option on:
General Mission Tab: Mission Number, Cooperating Agencies, Mission Number

Team Assignment: Team Name

Debrief Tab's

Also any chance we can change some of the names of the titles such as "Beat", "Mission Number", "Team Name"

Thanks
Brent

Feature Requests and Issues / Not Able to set dates on mission
« on: October 22, 2014, 10:57:46 AM »
On the last several missions/training's where have used MM we are having problems with the dates on all fields, such as the subject information, team assignments, and general information. Once we set the date and leave that block the date and time reset to 0. Any ideas on what is causing the problem?
Thanks

Feature Requests and Issues / Personnel Report
« on: March 11, 2014, 07:36:57 AM »
Since we often support allied agencies and use multiple NGO SAR teams is there a way of creating a report that would give us the sign in roster for a particular mission? Something that would capture the persons name, team/agency, contact info. would be perfect for our needs.

Feature Requests and Issues / More space for Mission/Incident Number
« on: November 24, 2013, 05:19:27 PM »
I hate to be petty but any chance we can get more space for the Mission Number on the general tab? Our agency (and many agencies) just switched over to  a new records management system our incident numbers are now 12 digits in length.
Thanks for the consideration.

Feature Requests and Issues / Add State to vehicle information
« on: November 23, 2013, 07:45:52 PM »
Is it possible to add the "State" of issue next to "License" box in vehicle information under the "Subject" tab? from a law enforcement perspective that is a critical piece of information if we need to run the tag for additional information.
Just a thought.
Thanks

We have taken advantage of changing some of our mission tabs to make them more inline with our currant terminology in our state. However, when I use an offline mission the default tabs appear instead of our customized tabs. Anyway of having them sync?

Feature Requests and Issues / More Info On Team Assignment Map
« on: October 16, 2013, 11:31:58 AM »
We have found the print Team Assignment Map feature very handy as we start using the map function more often on our training's and operations. Is it possible to add a little more information to the map that prints out?
I know our agency would at least like the Team Name(we call it an assignment number), Team Leader, and Objective. I realize it will cut into the map a little but it would be helpful to keep everything strait.
Maybe it could even be a section in the configuration tab so a team can decide how much information is printed on the team map. Just a thought.

Feature Requests and Issues / Team Assignment Log
« on: June 03, 2013, 09:20:00 AM »
Is it possible to generate a report with just the assignment information. When we use the "paper" method of managing a search we have a Task Assignment Log where we enter just the task #, team leader, objective, type of task, and when it was started and completed. We use it a lot to have a quick snap shot of where we stand or to give a quick overview to supporting agencies. I know we could use the event log but there is a lot more information on that report then what we often times need.

Feature Requests and Issues / radio call sign linked to name
« on: April 16, 2013, 08:27:22 PM »
Is there any way of linking a person's radio call sign to their name on a team assignment? It would be nice to look at the team assignment and automatically see their radio call sign. I think it would make it a lot easier for our comms folks to keep track of units in the field. It would also be nice if it showed up on the actual Team Assignment report that we print out. When we task out an assignment we change the "assignment name" to the task number, which is the day- the next numerical assignment (16-1, if it was assigned today and was the first assignment). I would like to hear how other teams handle the assignment numbering/name.

Ok I feel like an idiot! In an effort to maintain standardization I changed the "Team Assignment Types" in the configuration settings to mirror the terminology we currently use. I didn't even consider the ramifications of loosing the specific debriefing information for that type of assignment. Is there anyway to reset/restore the original types or get the debrief questions to line up with our assignment types? I hate self imposed headaches!  >:(

Feature Requests and Issues / Equipment Tab
« on: March 25, 2013, 11:02:36 AM »
I love the new equipment tab. I like the fact that we can assign equipment to a specific person, but is there anyway of assigning equipment to a Unit (ie. Comms trailers, etc) It is still good to know who is responsible for that equipment but it would be nice to look at what unit can provide specific equipment for an incident. This is especially valuable to us in Maryland where we use MM on a statewide scale and have each volunteer team set up as a "unit" 
Thanks

Feature Requests and Issues / K9 name on assignment
« on: March 25, 2013, 10:04:36 AM »
We used MM again this weekend on several exercises  for our Search Team Member school. Again we received very impressive feedback from the managers, instructors and even students. It made our check in process so much smoother and quicker.
I do have one more request. In Maryland we like to capture the name of the K9 used on the task assignment form. Several handlers use multiple canines and this allows us to document the K9 that was used on a particular task. I realize the easy fix is to just enter the name of the K9 in the "notes" section of the team (task) assignment. Is there any chance of adding a K9 box to the assignment section when we select K9 assignment? Would it be possible to even check the K9's in on the search so you can select them from a list of available resources? Just some thoughts. sorry for adding to your work load. ;)
I tried to attach our currant Task Assignment/Debrief Report put I kept getting an error. I can e-mail it to you if it helps.
In addition does anyone else use Search Urgency Charts to help qualify the response of the Search? Any thoughts about adding a Search Urgency Chart to the mission?
Thanks

Feature Requests and Issues / Member Certification String
« on: March 01, 2013, 05:41:04 AM »
We have been using the "Member Certification String" to capture a lot of our volunteers searcher's certification information, but we have run out of room with only 8 blocks. Any chance we can have 20 blocks in that section like the other certification areas?

General Mission Manager Discussion / Great Feedback
« on: February 09, 2013, 08:10:59 AM »
I'm going to finally post we I am not asking for something. We are in the process of introducing MM as a way for us (a statewide agency), to manage numerous NGO SAR teams throughout the state. We are getting extremely positive reviews from all involved. Everyone has been very impressed with how customize-able the system is and the responsiveness from everyone at MM. This system is taking our management to the next level.
I would like to hear input from other statewide or managing agencies that oversee NGO/Volunteer teams, as to how the system is working for other agencies.
Thanks again

Feature Requests and Issues / More space in "Member Certification Levels"
« on: February 03, 2013, 03:49:28 AM »
Would it be possible to get more room in the "Member Certification Levels"? I am referring to the section where you type the specific certification/discipline. Can this be made to accommodate many more entries, similar to the drop down boxes in "Rank" and "Unit". I would like to create a drop down box that would capture all our disciplines, but as off now I can only enter about 8 or 10 disciplines before I run out of space.
