Vellox Group Ideas Portal
Description:
When creating a mission in Dispatch Pro, LZs without an associated GPS waypoint currently send the full address (street, city, state, county, country) into the Waypoint ID field in Ops Suite. In our previous system, this field defaulted to “SCENE” when no waypoint ID was available.
This request is to update Dispatch Pro so that when an LZ does not have a GPS waypoint, it sends a standardized value (e.g., “SCENE”) instead of the full address string.
Problem:
The current behavior results in inconsistent and overly verbose Waypoint IDs in Ops Suite, making them harder to read and less standardized for crews.
Proposed Solution:
Modify Dispatch Pro logic to send “SCENE” (or another standardized value) as the Waypoint ID when no GPS waypoint is associated with the LZ.
Impact:
Improves consistency across missions
Enhances readability for end users in Ops Suite
Aligns behavior with previous system expectations

Jane,
Thank you for sharing this request, we appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback.
At this time, our primary focus for Dispatch Pro is on improving overall system stability, performance, and addressing our existing backlog of bugs. As a result, we are being very selective with adding new feature work to the roadmap.
We’ve captured your request in our Ideas Portal for future consideration as capacity allows. This helps us track demand and prioritize enhancements across our customer base.
If this functionality is a high priority for your team, we do have the option to scope it as a Statement of Work. This would allow us to define requirements, timeline, and associated development costs so you can determine if it aligns with your current priorities.
Please let me know how you’d like to proceed, and thank you again for your input.
Best regards,
Susan
