With the introduction of COSAction, our new mobile app, we now have two different apps capable of handling TelePatriot missions. When the TelePatriot feature of COSAction is fully implemented, the original TelePatriot app (TP App) will be retired. Until that time, both apps are capable of handling the same TelePatriot missions.
However, COSAction includes significant enhancements over TP App, and there are new call statuses and responses which TP App does not support. For example, COSAction missions have the ability to apply tags at the completion of a call. In addition, TP App is not able to reliably maintain call counts for a mission due to several bugs and API limitations. Consequently, mission stats will effectively become corrupted if handled by both apps.
For this reason, there is a new option called “Allow for old TP app” on the mission edit page. Unless this option is selected, TP App will not see the mission, but COSAction sees all missions. This option was set on for all currently-active missions, but going forward, any missions intended for use by COSAction should generally leave this option off, so that the mission stats can be maintained properly.
When TP App has been retired, this option will be removed.
