ArcGIS Mission is a powerful tool that facilitates real-time communication between operators in the field and those in a command environment. ArcGIS Mission moves data quickly between mission participants providing access to all hosted services on an enterprise\u2019s portal, or by ingesting publicly shared data services in REST, WFS, WMS, or WMTS formats. The main orchestrator of data is the Mission Manager web application via the Mission Server.<\/p>\n

While the mission manager web application is robust, it is not customizable and may not be the most effective means for showing mission data at a macro level.

There are many benefits to using a dashboard to expand a mission, one of which is displaying key metrics of a mission utilizing Arcade.
