Choose a mission map during mission creation

When you create a new mission, you can define a new mission map or use an existing map as your mission map. Depending on the mission requirements, the map options include the following:

• Select the mission's basemap.
• Select the starting position and the zoom extent.
• Import a previously created map.

Once you are satisfied with your map, you can edit the mission details or click Create New Mission.

Define a new mission map

You can create a mission map and define the basemap, starting position, and zoom extent.

Select a mission basemap

The mission basemap is always the bottom layer of the mission map. The mission basemap can be changed at any time on the Mission Details page.

To select the basemap for a mission, complete the following steps:

1. Click Create a New Mission.
2. Click Choose Basemap.
3. Select a basemap from the Choose Basemap dialog box.
4. Click to apply your basemap.

Your selection is now the basemap for the mission. All graphics, layers, or other map components appear on top of it.

Select the starting position and zoom extent

To select the starting position and zoom extent, complete the following steps:

1. Click Create a New Mission.
2. Locate your starting point on the map manually or by typing a location address in the search bar.
3. Zoom to the desired extent using the zoom in and zoom out buttons or your mouse.

   A rectangle is overlayed on the map to provide reference to the maps extent. You may redraw this extent as many times as necessary.

Once you are satisfied with your map, you can edit the mission details or click Create New Mission.

Choose an existing map

You can use your organization's existing web maps in the mission. You can edit them using the Map tab on the Mission Details page.

You can use a map from the following sources:

• My Content—Lists the maps you have built and saved in ArcGIS Enterprise
• My Organization—Lists the maps users in your organization have built and made accessible for use by the organization
• My Groups—Any groups you are a part of in ArcGIS Enterprise that have published maps for group use

Once you have chosen an existing web map for your mission, complete the following steps:

1. Click the Create a New Mission tab.
2. Click Choose Mission Map.
3. Find the map you want to import.

   This may include searching through private maps, either your own or your organizations.

4. Select a map.

   This can be done manually, by scrolling through the map tiles or using the search bar and sorting options located above those tiles.

5. Click OK.

The selected map appears in the map panel at the starting location and zoom extent determined by the map. An ArcGIS Mission Manager user can select the starting position and zoom extent. Repeat this step as necessary.

Once you are satisfied with your map, you can edit the mission details or click Create New Mission.
