I don't see an edit box. 
I bring up the map tab in my mission (I'm using the recent training mission that is Suspended) and see the Layers tab in the upper right corner of the map. When I click on it, the list of layers opens showing all the selections on the left, and the opacity slider bar for each on the right. I don't see an edit box in this slide out.

Feature Requests and Issues / Clue location on team maps
« on: April 24, 2013, 08:09:50 AM »
While setting up our training this last weekend, I had 12 locations that I was going to send teams to. In utilizing MM for our animal response team, we are using the clues tab in the following manner:
When information arrives to the IC that there are animals in need of assistance, this is entered as a clue. This page gives us enough room to put in the details of the call - numbers of animals, owner/contact info, who called it in (owner, passerby, our Scouts, Sheriff, etc.), address, potential hazards, etc. Using the Google map, we can then get the GPS coordinates, or directly enter them if we have that from the field unit. The Clue icon then shows up on the map that we can see at the IC. That is great, and allows us to cluster responses for more efficient operations.
The glitch is that when I go to dispatch a team (Scout, Truck with trailer, etc.) and I print a Team map, the Clue icon does not show up and I cannot select it as an "Area" to send a team. I have to add a new Location icon on the map. It would be handy if I didn't have to do this extra step.
The other thing I noticed was the scaling on the team map that I print out for them. It seems that it defaults to always have the CP on the map. This can cause a substantial loss in resolution. Sometimes our CP is several miles from the team's destination (more than 10 miles during last year's Ranchita fire). Is there some way I can zoom the team map in before I print it?
Thanks.

Thanks for the fix. It will allow teams to use the calendar to keep track of what they did in previous trainings.

Feature Requests and Issues / Repeating events overwrite
« on: April 23, 2013, 10:00:04 AM »
For my team, I have set up a repeating monthly training event. When I put the new information in about an upcoming training, and hit Update, I am asked if I want to update all repeating events. I always hit No, because the changes only affect that particular training. Unfortunately, recently an event was changed (not by me) and the update all was hit. Now, it wouldn't be a big deal if it only updated the future events. That would be easy to change. But it overwrote all the previous monthly training info as well. Would it be possible to change this so that it only updates future events? Thanks.
Oh, and if you look at our calendar you will see that we alternate between Saturday and Sunday month to month. It was only the Sunday training events that were changed.

Same here yesterday, but it only happened with a couple of people. I was checking people in, using my Administrator access. I was checking in team members and guests (whose names were already in my database). We were running FireFox.

Feature Requests and Issues / Re: Team Assignments - Names not dropping in
« on: April 22, 2013, 06:57:40 AM »
I had the same thing occur on our training mission yesterday. When making up a team, I could drag and drop one person. Then when I tried a second person, although the little grab fist showed up, when I moved it into the assign box, that box wouldn't light up and the assignment wouldn't hold. If I went to a separate tab and then came back to the team tab, I could then assign that member to a team. I should have tried F5, it would have been quicker. I was running FireFox on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 with a USB mouse.

Thanks for the quick response. Here is the site with the unique event icons:
http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/events/
In addition to the serious ones: Deadly danger, Rescue, Earthquake, etc. (most of which can be used by teams for MM) there are some tongue-in-cheek ones:
Zombie Outbreak, Alien Encounter, UFO, Ghost, Cow Abduction (this one might be handy!), Crop Circles (under agriculture)
Fun stuff!
Under Health he has Veterinarian, First Aid, Hospitals, Toilets. Which could be handy
http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/health-education/health/
Under Sports there are Avalanche (not often needed in San Diego!), Horseback, Climbing, and Regroup
http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/sports/
And under Nature there are some that would be handy for animal rescue teams: Cow, Emu, Animal Shelter, Cat, Duck, Pig, Chicken, Birds, Pets, Zoological Garden
http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/nature/animals/
Under Agriculture there are Farm, Corral, Field, Drinking Water, Water Well, and Water Source
http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/category/markers/nature/agriculture/
You can also find a Stargate under transportation!!

Feature Requests and Issues / Couple of odd things
« on: April 20, 2013, 12:19:36 PM »
While setting up tomorrow's training mission, I ran across a couple of minor glitches. Since I am setting up a future event, I wanted to change the event log to the proper date and time for the training. Changing the date from today to tomorrow was fine, but every time I changed the time I got an error message saying to enter it in 24-hour format ... even if I already had. I tried it several ways - deleting the original time and typing in the new one, highlighting then over-typing all or just some of the numbers, backspacing to delete some or all of the numbers, etc. I always got the error message. If I hit "OK" on the message, I could then save it, even if I hadn't done any further changes. Not that big a deal, as it should rarely come up. Just odd.
On the mapping portion, I noticed that if I was in the Google satellite or hybrid and saved locations and clues, if I then went to just topography, the positions changed drastically.
In another thread, you had discussed new icons that could be used. I see how I can do that on locations, but not on the clues. Would it be possible to do that? As for additional icons, there were some good ones under his events heading - "alien abduction", "cow abduction", "zombies". Are these things individual teams should upload, or do you have to upload them to the main server?

General Mission Manager Discussion / Expanding event and multiple agencies
« on: April 18, 2013, 07:59:00 AM »
Has anyone dealt with the following type of situation, and how did you handle it with Mission Manager?:
A small disaster starts in the jurisdiction of one agency. That agency responds, setting up their IC and operations using MM. After some period of time, the disaster expands to a much larger area which now involves the jurisdiction of other agencies, or a County-wide agency. The larger agency now assumes IC and also uses MM for their operations. However, the initial agency and the larger agency have separate MM accounts. How does all of the information from the initial agency get transferred into the new agency's MM operation?

Actually, I think what Chuck is looking for is the feature that already exists under Qualifications. Chuck, if you have everyone's specialty qualifications (tech rope, Anderson sling, confined space, floodwater, etc.) then when you do a callout you can sort for only those team members with specific qualifications. Call me. You have my number.

Feature Requests and Issues / Re: Google Calendar sync to MM Calendar
« on: March 05, 2013, 01:32:31 PM »
You can also use it in your Outlook calendar. My County has low tolerance for linking to outside sources, but this worked just fine. While in Outlook, go to the Tools tab and open Account Settings. Click on internet Calendars, then New. It will open a box to paste the calendar URL into: (https://www.radishworks.com/MissionManager/api.php?Get=calICS&APIKey=YOUR_API_KEY). Your MM calendar appears listed under Other Calendars. When you click the box next to it, it will pop up next to your regular Outlook calendar.
