== Entering Missions and Exercises == [[File:WelcomeScreen3.jpg|center|thumb]]The above view is the starting screen. From here, you can create a new Mission along with associated Exercises of various discipline types. {| class="wikitable" |+ ![[File:MissionSetup.jpg|none|thumb]] ![[File:ExerciseSetup.jpg|none|thumb]] ![[File:ExerciseInProgress.jpg|none|thumb]] |} The view on the left shows the Mission setup screen. In here, you set a mission number which is usually a tracking number issued by the agency overseeing Search & Rescue operations in your area. Any unofficial training can be indicated by clicking the Unofficial button. This button simply replaces the text in the edit box with the word "Unofficial". Internally, this field is plain text and anything can go in there. In the Training Location section, the popup menu presents a list of your usual locations set up in the Locations Editor. Again, picking a choice from that menu simply inserts the text into the edit box. Clicking the GPS button will insert your current location in UTM format. The Log-in Date/Time can be quickly filled in with the current time and date by clicking the Now button. The same applies to the Log-out edit box. Note, when you end the training for the day by clicking the button at the bottom of this screen, the time and date of the Log-out edit box will be updated to the current time and date. Clicking the "Start a new exercise" button will bring up the Exercise Setup screen. Here you can set the overall information about the exercise such as the dog you were working, any human flankers who were with you, and the weather/environment/terrain conditions. At the bottom is a popup menu where you select the discipline you will be working on. Clicking the "Set discipline details" button will bring up one of several screens. Note that these discipline screens are all scrolling views to accommodate all the information and lets you fill in information as you get it easily. [[File:FinishExercise.jpg|center|thumb]] Important: By scrolling all the way to the bottom, you will see a Finish button. You must click this button to complete the exercise and save it in the database. If you click the circle-X in the upper left corner, you will cancel this discipline and it won't be saved. This allows you to undo adding an incorrectly chosen discipline.
