Set up the campaign planner

Choose who may plan, where the weekly drops are posted, and when they go out.

Admin Web — 🗂️ Campaigns → Settings

How to do it

  1. Go to 🗂️ Campaigns → Settings.
  2. Pick the Unit role. Server admins can always plan; Unit Leaders can plan when they also hold this role.
  3. Pick the Drop channel — the public announcements channel every drop is posted in.
  4. Pick the Mission team channel — a private channel I ping when a drop is due but nobody has approved it.
  5. Set the Drop day and Drop time, and which drop opens the ORBAT for sign-ups.
  6. Save.

Worth knowing

  • With no unit role set, only server admins can plan. That is on purpose: the planner never opens wider than you chose.
  • Drop times are read in the server's time zone, and posts show every time as a Discord timestamp, so readers see their own time.
  • Make the drop channel an Announcement channel and partner servers can Follow it to get each drop in their own server: I publish every drop, which is what sends it on to them, and edits follow by themselves. Give me Attach Files there too, for drops with images.
  • The survey link may contain {op}, which becomes the mission name with spaces as %20.
  • Who can edit mission ORBATs decides who may open the ORBATs campaign missions use in the ORBAT editor: server admins only, or admins and planners. Also allow these roles adds anybody else — they find those ORBATs under Operations → ORBATs. Creating, copying and deleting ORBATs always stays with admins.
