Missions screen

The Missions screen allows you to view and manage your missions. The purpose of a mission is to assign specific people to a task which lasts for a maximum of 24 hours. When a mission is created, typically a case is selected so that all the target phones in the case are available to view on the mission's map. OSS-ESPA users must be assigned to the mission, even if they are already assigned to the case in OSS-ESPA. They can then monitor the target phones on the map using all the map's normal features. Guests, who are not on the OSS-ESPA account, can also be added to a mission allowing them to view the most recent location of the target phones and the most recent location of other units on the mission, however guests only have limited map features available to them.

The Missions screen has two tabs listing your active missions and completed missions. When a mission is first created it is displayed on the Active missions tab and then it moves to your Completed missions tab once the time period that the mission's creator selected in Expires is reached. If required, the mission creator can reactivate a completed mission by saving more time to Expires.

As shown in the following graphic, each mission listed displays:

  • the mission name.

  • a countdown timer at the top-right of each mission details how much time a mission has left before it expires.

  • a link to open the mission on the map. This link is not active for completed missions or for guests who have not been approved access to the mission.

  • the number of units involved in the mission.

  • the number of alerts selected in the mission.

  • the number of guests who have requested to be part of the mission and whether or not their request is approved. This also details if the request was from an individual email address or a domain.

In addition, if you are the person that created the mission then you also have additional buttons that allow you to: delete the mission, manage the mission, allow guest requests to join the mission from selected domains and emails, and approve and deny guest requests.

If you require a step-by-step procedure on managing missions refer to Add and manage missions.

For further information on how guests log in and request access to a mission refer to If you are a guest on a mission.
