In ArcGIS Mission Manager, users have access to creating and using mission templates. Mission templates provide users a means for creating missions that are similar in nature and need to be duplicated and stood up quickly. Mission templates have two methods for being created: from within the mission details page and through an interface in My Templates. All mission templates created by a user can be viewed and accessed in this interface as well.
Accessing mission templates
Mission templates are in their own section that is accessed from the mission manger console. To access the mission templates section, complete the following steps:
- Open the ArcGIS Mission Manager web application from portal.
- Select your user profile.
- From the drop-down list, select My Templates.
If user is a Mission administrator, all mission templates on the portal will be displayed.
Create a new mission template
From the Mission Templates page, users can create a new mission template without being in a current mission. This can be useful for creating missions to be used in future instances where a mission needs to be accessed and initiated quickly.

These layers will be added to the mission during creation.
