General Mission Manager Discussion / Equipment Tracking

« on: May 23, 2013, 08:29:46 AM »

I'm curious how other team are using the Equipment section.

We currently have 16+ radios (couple with dead batteries for replacement).  Each one is individually numbered and assigned to a specific member.  How would you suggest putting them into the Equipment section?

I currently have a Kenwood TK-372g listed in the inventory and assigned to several members, but that doesn't tell me who has Radio #6, 12, and 5 check out to them.

Is there an issue with the links?  We have two links set to link to two different, ever changing Google Doc sheets.  The links give me a "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist." page.  These were working for us in the past.  Any ideas?  I have checked the address and they work outside of Mission Manager with permissions set to "Anyone with the Link".

I didn't even know that report was there.  Feeling rather stupid at this moment.

That is exactly what I was looking for.

Feature Requests and Issues / Change History

« on: May 22, 2013, 02:43:45 PM »

Is there anyway to put in something to tell us who made changes in a mission, or who originated a mission?  Kind of like the Member Change History.  Or does this already happen in the event log and I'm missing something.

My reason is that we had a mission call out this weekend, but were not able to use MM because of the location and time frame.  By the time we were up and running, the individual was found.  But I would like to be able to track who entered what information after the fact so we can track it back them in case there are questions later or we have multiple event loggers going.  I'm sure this would be no easy feat, but I would welcome it, anyone else?

Feature Requests and Issues / Equipment Image Upload

Can't seem to get anything to happen when I click on the "Upload Image" button on the equipment tab.  Any ideas?  Already tried F5.

But that's the whole beauty of MM - You WOULD know!!!

As soon as the person checks out - his name would populate in the "Checked Out" section of the Personnel tab within the Mission.

I see it as a bonus.

Let's say I'm a K9 team and I come back from an Assignment - as soon as my  Assignment has been Debriefed and "Completed" my name populates back into the Personnel Status column as "Available".

But - let's say I know I can not take my K9 back out without at least an hour's rest.  I would like the ability to stay on scene - "Check Out" so that Command does not reassign me. 

Then when I know my K9 is available for another Assignment I would "Check In" and be listed once again in the Personnel Status as "Available".

We created a position under the ICS Positions called "On Break"  this was for members who wished to remain on a mission, but needed to take a rest.  The way we run things is that you "Check Out" when you are completely done on a mission for the day or operational period.  This way they do not show in the Available list, but are still on the Mission.  When they are ready to go again, we move them back onto the Available list and assign the out as needed.

Maybe this is a future "Wish List" item that could be included on the Personnel page, an On Break position.

I'm with Greg W on this one.

Typicality teams don't want people checking themselves out without someone in command knowing about them leaving.   The check in screen only permission wasn't really designed so people would just check themselves in it was designed for a people who help command by checking people into a mission as they arrive.

I believe that this would lead to a conflict.  If you can just check out on your own, who is going to know when you left? 
We actually have a double system when it comes to check in and out.  Not only do you check in with the scribe on MM, but you also must check in on paper in a basic ICS form.  This covers things just in case the computers crash, or we have a network crash.  When you check out, you must do so with the scribe, who checks you out on the computer, and you must sign out on paper.

During a major mission two years ago, we had a member who just left his post, got in his car and went home.  Nobody knew he had gone home.  It wasn't until someone went to relieve him at his post when we discovered he had gone.  It took a couple of phone calls to find him.  At that point we were pulling resources back in to go look for him.  Needless to say he was removed from the team.

What does the InstaMapper shut down mean for live team tracking on Mission Manager?

Thanks for the Links tab, that is great.

I can see your point about the Organization chart and the complexity in it.  I think he liked the idea because I showed him the Org Chart with pictures and he liked being able to identify people by their picture.

It isn't a big deal, and I don't think it will be a deal breaker in getting the County EOC on board with using Mission Manager to help with the ICS process.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Feature Requests and Issues / Couple of Requests for the List

« on: May 25, 2012, 10:49:16 AM »

First we have a request to be able to access the Links tab during a mission.

We have documents that we use, but don't want to take up the space on MM when we already have them stored in our Google Docs, so we have linked them in to MM through the links tab.  But inside a mission, we can't access them unless we leave the mission, open the link, then go back to the mission.

The other request is to be able to create a Organizational Chart within a Mission so that you could see the chain of command of people on scene and be able to print that out and display it within the Command Center.  (This one comes from an Emergency Manager who I was doing a MM demo for this morning.)

Feature Requests and Issues / Mission Briefing Problem

« on: May 16, 2012, 07:18:11 AM »

There seems to be a problem with the Incident Briefing Form and bringing in the Map of the actual area you are in.

We were doing a brief last night in prep for a Public Relations mission.  We were going to print out a Mission Brief page to give to everyone an idea of where were going to be working.  The map section won't display out the area we are working even though we have established where the command post will be, and the area we will be working.  The map show Poway Lake.

I looked at some of our past missions, and it is doing the same thing to those briefing pages also.

Any ideas?
