Once you create your mission in ArcGIS Mission Manager, you can participate in it.
Mission analyst experience
The mission analyst experience is your primary access for interacting with active missions, after you create a mission and add mission details.
The mission analyst experience contains panels with tools for interacting with the mission. These panels are Title, Mission Map, Members and Teams , Messaging, and My Activity, All Activity, and Custom Filter panels. All the panels are updated in real time, displaying new information as it becomes available during the mission.
To access the mission analyst experience, click Open Mission from View Missions or through the Mission Details page.
Change your mission status
The mission status can only be changed on the Mission Details page. You have the options of Draft, Active, and Complete. Once the mission is active, you cannot edit details in your mission. However, you can change your mission status at any time. To change your mission status, see Mission Status.
Overview panel
The Mission Overview tab provides a summary of your mission. The Mission Summary shows the number of members, teams, maps, and additional materials available in the mission. You can also edit the mission details added during the initial mission creation. For more information, see Define mission details.
Members and Teams panels
The Members and Teams panels display information about every mission member and team that are a part of the mission. You can view the member's status and connection information. For teams, you can view their last known location and their team members. For more information, see Members and Teams panels.
Mission analyst chat
Chats are text-only messages sent between mission members from ArcGIS Mission Manager or ArcGIS Mission Responder. Chats can be sent to any mission member, group of members, team, or teams. Chats to active users are sent in real time. Chats can be sent to inactive users, but these are stored and sent when the user becomes active again. These chats appear in the mission's feed.

My Activity and All Activity panels
The My Activity and All Activity panels display geomessages and chats to help you maintain awareness of all the communications taking place during a mission. Geomessages and chats are displayed in the order in which they are created, with the most recent displayed at the top. For details, see My Activity and All Activity panels.
