Quick Start - Karttahimmeli¶
This is a short guide for what to do when alert comes and operation must be started quickly.
For patrols: five actions before field deployment¶
- Open Karttahimmeli - app or browser at karttahimmeli.fi
- Enter operation ID - get it from command post or QR code
- Set patrol name according to command instructions
- Check battery optimization - on Android, disable power saving
- Do not start location sharing before name is correct
For command: starting operation¶
- Create operation by entering new ID (avoid guessable IDs)
- Take ownership immediately via icon next to operation ID
- Write ID or print QR code visibly at command post
- Instruct patrol naming before patrols leave
- Consider password if media or outsiders are present
