# Mission Scheduler
## Overview
## Key Highlights
* FlytBase Scheduler interface organizes the drone fleet's flight agenda efficiently.
* View scheduled missions with status on the calendar.
* Mission card indicates reasons for failed or incomplete missions and links the flight logs for completed missions.

Mission Scheduler automates routine drone flights for timely maintenance, progress tracking, perimeter monitoring, asset inspections and data collection.
## Overview
FlytBase features a Scheduler window that displays the pre-planned flight schedule of the drone fleet. Operators can easily plan their missions through the **days, weeks and months** tabs.
### Scheduling a Mission
To schedule a mission, navigate to the Planning section in the dashboard and select **Schedule**.
This will redirect you to the Mission Scheduler Page.
Next, click on the **Schedule** button to plan a mission.
The scheduler menu will open on the left side of the screen.
Fill in schedule details, such as drone, mission, mission frequency (repetitive or one-time), date, time, and timezone. Click **Save** to schedule the mission.
The scheduled mission will be visible on your calendar with its status.
#### Mission Status
Missions in the dashboard are classified based on their scheduling status:
* **Scheduled (****Blue****):** All missions that have been scheduled in the system are assigned the **Scheduled** status. These missions will be executed at the set time.
* **Complete (****Green****):** Once a mission is completed, it is assigned the **Complete** status.
* **Cancelled (****Orange****):** If a mission is cancelled at any point, it is assigned the **Canceled** status.
* **Missed (****Red****):** Missions scheduled but not executed as planned are assigned the **Missed** status.
The scheduler pop-up shows the name of the mission, the date scheduled, the name of the drone and the reason for your failed mission.

This option can be selected by clicking on the three dots on the top right side of the pop-up and then clicking on a duplicate mission.
### Managing Scheduled Missions
