Feature Requests and Issues / Calendar 'Limited To' Options

« on: August 30, 2012, 10:43:43 AM »

Is there a way to remove the 'Limited To' option for calendar items?  My team doesn't really use units and that feature seems to confuse some people.  It would probably be easier to disable it for my team than try to explain it to everyone.

Feature Requests and Issues / Re: Offline Check In

Hmmm, well it seems to work now.  I swear I tried that before, but apparently not correctly.  I'll do some more experimentation, but for now it looks like if I download a mission for offline, I can create a new one offline and use the same user database.

Feature Requests and Issues / Offline Check In

« on: August 26, 2012, 01:16:30 PM »

I've been having problems with getting personnel in offline missions.  The scenario we had was that we didn't have internet from the beginning on a recent training mission.  We wanted to do the team assignments and radio logs on two different computers.  The radio logs were fine, but after we created the offline mission for the assignment computer, we couldn't check anyone in because their information wasn't available.  I'd previously done the 'cash maps/sycn missions', so I thought they would all be in there.  Any ideas?

Feature Requests and Issues / RSVP in email

« on: August 26, 2012, 12:36:23 PM »

I get this request from my team mates fairly often, so I figured I should pass it on.  Everyone has weird ideas on how to implement it, and I don't know what would work, but the question usually goes something like this:
'Can you put a button in the email that lets us RSVP for events without logging in?'


I don't consider typing a username and password much of a time commitment, but judging by the large quantity of regular "No Response" team members we have, something different in the email might be warranted.  I don't know if a fancy mailto link could work, or maybe something cool I don't know about in an HTML email.

Announcements / Re: Mission Manager 7.3 - Customizable Member Reports

« on: June 18, 2012, 11:22:14 AM »

Is there a way to use this API to fancy up my roster with an OR statement of some sort?  I'd like to make a roster of people who are either in unitlimit=Rescue%20Member OR unitlimit=Operation%20Leader.  I tried the URL below, but it just ignored the first unitlimit statement and gave me only Operation Leaders. 
https://radishworks.com/SearchManager/MemberRoster_Form.php?type=roster&show=ano&lines=45&title=Member%20Roster&name=1&rank=1&id=1&squad=1&division=1&radio=1&unit=1&address=1&city=1&state=1&zip=1&country=1&homephone=1&workphone=1&mobilephone=1&otherphone=1&email=1&unitlimit=Rescue%20Member&unitlimit=Operation%20Leader&sort=name


I started experimenting with the old ||, but it didn't work, and figured it would be faster to ask than figure it out by trial and error.

Tried it out, works great.  Thanks!

Oops, I just started a very closely related thread:  http://www.radishworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=252.0
My programming skills probably are't up to the Radish Works standard, but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Nice! I was wishing for this at a field training a while back, then forgot about it. I need to start taking notes or something.

Feature Requests and Issues / Calendar Export

« on: May 19, 2012, 12:19:46 PM »

I had a bit of a panic recently when I realized that Mother's Day was only 3 days away, so I've decided to get all my calendars in one spot, and I had some trouble with the Mission Manager "Export Calendar" button.  It turns out you get errors trying to import into Google Calendar.  The current work-around is to import to outlook, export a .CSV and then import to Google. 


I did some experimenting and I think I found the problem.  The body of the SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION and LOCATION fields (maybe others?) need some escape characters.  I found this thread and tried it out on a single event.  Success!  The only confusing bit for me was with the colons.  Basically, just don't to anything to them and they import just fine. 


I stole this from the thread:

• For double quote use: DQUOTE
• For a comma use: \,
• For a colon use: ":"
• For a semicolon use: \;
• For a back-slash use \\
• For a new line use \n or \N

This is great.  I've been looking for a way to make a put-a-name-with-a-face printout for the other team in my county.  This should do nicely.

Feature Requests and Issues / Certification Status Report

« on: April 22, 2012, 02:15:39 PM »

My team has been using the certifications and expiration to track field qualifications fairly successfully.  The report would be more useful if it also included the non-expiring field qualification items.  Is there a handy way to include these in the certification status report?

Feature Requests and Issues / Offline Map Trouble Shooting

« on: April 15, 2012, 12:15:49 PM »

Parts of this were mixed in with another thread, so I thought I'd break it out.  First off, the successes...
I've gotten Mission Manager to recognize my map server and display the maps on any computer connected to my network.  It took someone smarter than me to figure out the link I needed for the Map Settings on the Configuration tab.  Here is what he came up with:

• http://192.168.0.115:8080/resource/imagery/tiles/topo/${z}/${x}/${y}.png

192.168.0.115 is the IP address (make it static) of the computer running the Sarsoft server.  :8080/resource/tiles/ points it to the program and the first part of the path to the maps.  topo is the directory where my maps are under the Sartoft program.  The rest of it is a set of variables the computer uses to fill in the location of individual map tiles.  I also have folders (and links) for satellite maps, visitor maps and whatnot.  This setup makes the maps available to any computer on the network accessing a Web Mission, which cuts way down on internet bandwidth and is generally awesome.


The last problem I have yet to work out is how to make the maps show up when in an Offline Mission.  From the Mission tab, if I select a mission and Download for Offline, then the open up the mission, I can only see the web maps which were cached.  I can still select my offline maps as a base layer, but the do not display.  Sometimes a very small region of the offline maps comes along with the cached web maps.

Feature Requests and Issues / Team Map Areas and Printing

« on: April 15, 2012, 11:55:04 AM »

If a map area is selected on the "Teams" page and I hit "Print Team Assignment", I get some funkness.  The map shows up on top of the ICS form in the print window.

Feature Requests and Issues / Re: Deployed Equipment

« on: April 15, 2012, 11:51:39 AM »

There is an "Equipment" field on the check in page.  You can customize it under "Member Fields" on the configuration page.  I don't know of a way to display the equipment currently on scene during an operation. Maybe an equipment list somewhere on the teams page would be useful.
Changes to equipment on the check in page show up in the member's individual information, which you can always check, but unless you have a really small team it may not be too easy to get the info this way during an op.

Announcements / Re: Mission Manager 6.0 - New Map Layers

« on: April 07, 2012, 03:04:51 PM »

We just found another, mildly related issue.  The max zoom level in Mission Manager configuration is set to 16, which is the max zoom level of the maps I have, but it will only go up to 15.  If we change the max zoom level in Mission Manager configurations to 17, then it will go up to 16.  This work around is fine, but slightly confusing.
