We had a training mission today and this is one of our first attempts at utilizing MM in the field. In preparation I selected the mission and used to "download for offline option" and it completed without issue...so I thought. Before departing to the field, I wanted to check myself in, and while the check-in page came up and it did find my userid, I was unable to view the data on the right side of the screen which is the member details. Without seeing that data, I was unable to complete the check-in process because I couldn't enter the round trip mileage. On the same laptop, I went to the online mission using check-in and it displayed properly. Not sure if I did something wrong or if there's an issue.
The other feature/issue that could be helpful is the ability to change the entry times for some of the log items. When out in the field, I manually recorded items that needed to be entered in to MM, such as who showed up and when. I can adjust when the person was assigned to a team, but the log times often don't reflect some of the same times. In the scenario that I experienced where we'd like to update MM to reflect the details of a real or training mission after the conclusion of the mission, it might be handy to be able to manipulate some of the times. Just a thought. I can certainly appreciate the need to preserve the actual entry data for many reasons, at least as a training tool for us, it would be nice to adjust the times so our end report reflects what happened. Hope that all makes sense.
