Enabling Internal Mission Approvals

1.1 Drone Operations Center – Mission Approval Workflow Overview

The Internal Mission Approval workflow adds a layer of operational oversight by requiring missions to be reviewed and approved by an authorised manager before they can be executed. This feature is especially useful for organisations that must maintain strict compliance or safety protocols.

1.2 Enabling Mission Approvals

Note: You must have administrative permissions within an organisational workspace to enable or disable this feature.

Follow these steps to turn on the internal mission approval workflow:

1. Ensure you have selected your Admin Workspace from the Workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar.

2. Navigate to the Manage section in the sidebar.

3. Click on the Organisation menu item.

4. Select the Settings tab.

5. Find the Internal Mission Approval list item and toggle the switch to the on position.

Once enabled, all newly created mission plans will require approval before they can be executed.

Important:
Disabling internal mission approval does not affect missions created in the past or those already under review.
The approval requirement only applies to missions created after the feature is turned on, and will only be removed for missions created after it has been turned off.

1.3 Configuring the Pilot Override Option (Optional)

For additional flexibility, you can allow pilots to override the approval requirement in urgent or time-critical situations.

Next to the main approval toggle, you will find an option that enables a pilot override. When activated, this allows pilots to proceed with a modified or unapproved mission if operational urgency demands it.

To ensure accountability, enabling this override requires the pilot to submit a written justification before proceeding.
This justification is automatically logged in the mission history and can later be reviewed by an administrator or manager, ensuring transparency and traceability in all operational decisions.
