Currently, Dispatch Pro allows users to select Day Flight or Night Flight using radio buttons within the Mission Information screen. However, these selections do not appear to be available as reportable fields.
This prevents organizations from easily tracking and reporting how many missions were designated as day or night operations.
Allow the existing Day Flight / Night Flight selection within Mission Information to be available in Dispatch Pro reports.
Organizations could then generate reports showing the number of day and night missions over a selected period without needing to manually review individual requests.
While the Expressionator has an isDay function that can calculate day or night based on location and date/time, having the actual radio button selection available for reporting would provide a simpler and more consistent way to track what was documented on each request.
This would also help account for seasonal changes in daylight hours, particularly during winter months when sunset occurs earlier.
Allows organizations to report on day versus night missions.
Eliminates the need to manually review requests.
Improves operational reporting and trend analysis.
Provides access to the actual Day Flight / Night Flight selection.
Helps organizations analyze mission activity across different times of the year.
Make the existing Day Flight / Night Flight radio button selection available as a field within the Dispatch Pro reporting system.
Ideally, users could include this field in custom reports and filter or group results by Day Flight or Night Flight.
