Missions
Your data library — browse, filter, upload, and dive into mission reports
The Missions page is the home base for all your data. Every mission you've uploaded — every test run, patrol, scan, or flight — lives here with its report, metrics, and metadata.
Think of it as your mission library: a searchable, filterable record of everything your systems have done.
Mission Library
- Filter buttons (top) — narrow missions by metadata: date, device, operator, firmware, or any custom fields
- Sort controls (top right) — sort by date, duration, or specific metrics
- + Add button (top right) — upload new data
- Breakdown — expandable summary showing metadata distribution across all missions
- Mission cards — each mission at a glance with metrics, files, and a link to its report
Filtering and sorting
The metadata filter buttons at the top of the page reflect the actual attributes in your data — so you'll see filters relevant to your setup. Click a filter to expand it, then select one or more values.
Combine multiple filters to narrow down precisely. Active filters are preserved in the URL, so you can bookmark or share filtered views with your team.
Sort by date (default), duration, or any mission-level metric. The sort dropdown updates dynamically based on the metrics available in your data.
The Mission Report
Click View report on any mission card to open its full AI-generated analysis. Here's what you'll find inside:
- Summary — a narrative overview of what happened, with key metadata values (device IDs, locations, firmware versions)
- Key events — a chronological timeline narrating the important moments: anomalies, state changes, and notable events, each with a timestamp, severity level, expandable detail, and associated images
- Metrics — a grid of key performance indicators extracted from the data (distance, speed, depth, battery, or any domain-specific measurements)
- Timeseries plots — interactive charts showing how values changed over the mission, with zoom, pan, hover tooltips, and key event markers overlaid
- Map — a geographic visualization of the mission route with color-coded paths, clickable to set reference time across other visualizations
- 3D trajectory viewer — for missions with 3D position data, an interactive viewer you can rotate, zoom, and pan
- Image gallery — a timeline-based view of camera feeds with multi-camera support and full-resolution expansion
- Available data — a list of data topics from your original files used in this mission
All time-based components (plots, map, 3D trajectory, image gallery) are synchronized — clicking around in one updates them all.
Mission name and description
Both the mission name and description are editable. Click the mission name in the report header to rename it inline. For the description, hover over the description area and click Edit to modify it, or click Add a description... if one doesn't exist yet. Descriptions are searchable and visible to your team.
More actions menu
The ⋯ (more actions) button in the report header — next to Ask AI — opens a menu with everything you can do to a mission beyond editing its name and description:
- Download All Visualizations — pulls every image, map, and chart from the mission page as a single bundle
- Download Original Data — re-downloads the source files you uploaded (MCAPs, logs, attachments)
- Share link — copies a link to this mission report; anyone in your org with access can open it
- Edit time format — switch how timestamps are displayed across the report (e.g. local vs. UTC, absolute vs. mission-relative)
- Sync key events, maps, and plots — when on, each key event shows up as a small white bubble on the chart axes at its timestamp, and clicking around in one time-based component (key event, plot point, map location) updates the others. On by default
- Delete Mission — soft-deletes the mission so it stops appearing in your library. The summary, key events, plots, instances, and derived artifacts are hidden but recoverable; contact support if you need a deleted mission restored. The original uploaded files in Mesh Storage are unaffected — remove those separately from Browse if you also want the source data gone
Comments & attachments
Each mission has a discussion section where you and your team can attach files, leave notes, observations, and follow-up items. Alloy AI reads these too — so comments you leave become part of the context when you ask questions about a mission.
You can also ask Alloy AI to write comments for you — useful for bulk-commenting across multiple missions or having it note down interesting observations it finds during analysis.
Replay Viewer
Click Replay in the mission header to play back raw sensor recordings from your mission.
The replay viewer lets you scrub through the timeline and inspect sensor readings and other recorded topics at any point in time. You can rearrange panels, choose which data topics to display, and customize the layout to focus on what matters to you.
Uploading new missions
Click + Add to upload data. See Getting Started for all upload methods including browser upload, cloud storage auto-ingestion, and edge device uploads.
