ArcGIS Mission Responder is used for communication and collaboration between people in a mission, referred to as mission members, who can be further organized into one or more Teams. Mission members and team members are described as follows:
- Mission members are users who have been assigned to the mission. A Responder user cannot view or access a mission without having been assigned to it. The mission members list includes users who are assigned to a team and those who are not.
- Team members are mission members who have been assigned a particular job or role in the mission. This is done based on criteria given by the user's organization and does not necessarily reflect the user's permissions or the way they interact with the mission. A mission can have any number of teams, and mission members can belong to any number of teams.
The Members tab includes a list of teams, a list of members, and a search bar. For teams, only the team names appear, while members are displayed with their name, the teams they are assigned to (if any), and their mission status. Active members are displayed with an icon under their name, showing how they are connected to the mission, whether as a Responder or a Manager. The search bar can be used to filter or find teams or members in the lists.
Tapping the Overflow button next to a mission member gives the option to chat with them, or to view their location on the map if they are actively broadcasting their location. For more information, see Chat.
The mission teams list always appears above the mission members list. If no teams have been created, a message appears stating such. Tap a team to see the mission members who are a part of it. Tapping the Overflow button next to a team gives the option to view the team location on the mission map or to send a chat to the entire team.
Tap a mission member from a team or the mission members list to see the following details:
- Member information—Member information includes the member’s avatar, status, first and last name, callsign, role, phone number, and username.
- Quick actions—A set of icons are displayed to provide quick way of interacting with mission members. You can email, chat, or call the selected member by tapping the appropriate icon. If another responder is actively connected to the mission, you will see a location pin allowing you to navigate directly to that person’s location on the map.
- Responder tiles—If a responder is actively connected to the mission, tiles will display with additional details. This includes location, last reported time, speed, course direction, and battery power.
- Qualifications—Members may have unique skills and qualifications in their details page. Only an administrator can create and modify a member’s qualifications. This is done by configuring member categories in portal.
- Teams—The teams list displays all teams the member belongs to within the current mission. Bio—Members may provide a bio through the portal to capture any additional information that is pertinent to their mission role.
