    Improve visibility of Archive SkySat imagery in Tasking DashboardDelivered

    Currently, the “Archive” option only appears when selecting "point" as the area of interest, which makes it easy to overlook for users who create requests with “line” or “area”.It would be really helpful to add this earlier in the tasking flow, perhaps with a note or visual cue indicating that archive imagery is only available for point-based requests. Also, a guide or help doc outlining how to access and purchase archive images could go a long way in making this feature more discoverable and user-friendly.

    Monitoring taskingDelivered

    on behalf of a customer:Interest in extended area-of-interest (AOI) monitoring, such as scheduling daily image captures for the upcoming few weeks or weekly image tasks for the following months. In these scenarios, the exact timing of the image may not be a primary concern. This approach prioritizes continuous monitoring objectives over assured tasking precision

    add abillity o view different band and indecies in Planet Scope, Planet ExplorerDelivered

    I doesn't seem to be possible to visualise different bands and indices in Planet Explorer for Plant Scope. Would be very useful to have ability to do that, similarly to Sentinel Hub functionality.

    Custom Band Combination IndicesDelivered

    In the Perform Spectral Analysis Tool for Hosted Data, allow users to combine spectral bands of choice to enhance imagery for bathymetry, geology and other features that use non-traditional band combinations. Provide an option for custom indices with band combinations.

    Providing at least 6 months of historic bimonthly average NDVI time series plot for any downloaded image.Delivered

    Offer the possibility that once an image area of interest has been selected, and offering NDVI, … and others products, to provide a time series plot of a an average NDVI to see the average seasonal evolution of the selected product. This would require computing this type of variable using at least 12 frames (in the neighborhood of every 2 weeks for 6 months), since NDVI does not change much in 2 weeks. This is because in the case of several indices, one is interested in the time evolution. This way, people in general do not need to download 12 images and compute the NDVI and contrasting images.

    Download spectral analysis from Planet ExplorerDelivered

    Currently, it’s possible to do some spectral analysis on Planet Explorer such as NDVI, NDWI and etc. However, users are unable to download these analyses. To be able to download them, users need to use the API. It would be great if the user could perform these analyses and also download them on Planet Explorer.

    On the dashboard and explorer page, provide a button to visit the community portal; I don’t see any reference to it anywhere.  This idea is from @Aaron Moore.

    A check box in the tasking dashboard for vegetation taskingNew

    I would like a box in the tasking dashboard to check if I am tasking for vegetation monitoring, such as forestry or agriculture, that adjusts the Skysat parameters (sun agle, nadir angle, etc...) automatically to maximize the quality of Skysat imagery being collected for vegetation specific use.

    Inclusion of "Order Name" Field in Usage ReportsOpen

    Hello Planet Team,In our organization, we use Planet Explorer as a key part of our processes, and we have identified a critical limitation in the Usage Reports.For each download, we follow a specific naming structure that includes key identifiers linked to our database. However, when downloading the Usage Reports from the plan information, we noticed that they do not include the "Order Name" field, which creates significant challenges in tracking and managing our downloads.Currently, we are forced to manually identify order names and do so account by account for each user, as we cannot find a consolidated view of all orders in one place. This is not a sustainable solution and negatively impacts our operational efficiency.We believe this improvement is fully feasible, as the Tasking Dashboard module already allows for downloading complete reports, including the "Order Name" field, which has been extremely helpful for our internal processes.We would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this request, as having this functionality would significantly enhance our image management and improve the analysis of key variables in our projects.We look forward to your feedback. This solution would make a substantial difference in our operations.Best regards, Ángela VargasTechnical AnalystProcalculo

    SkySat tasking area order statusOpen

    For SkySat tasking area order, if an AOI is not fully captured by the end of TOI, a status will be “EXPIRED” but quota will be deducted based on content delivered. This status can sometimes cause confusion, because user would not think that quota has been consumed just by looking at a status. It would be great if a status was a little easier to undestand. For example, “Partially Fulfilled” .

    A pop up to remind customer that they did not choose the clip optionOpen

    Sometimes customers might accidentally order a whole scene instead of their AOI because they forgot to clip. This lead to overuse of their quota or they use much more quota than they intended. A small pop up as a reminder that they did not clip might be beneficial.

    New User ID and API key for each contractOpen

    On behalf of a customer:With several subscriptions to the same package (ex. AUM).Each user needs new org and new user ID created so contracts do not overlap. This results in multiple API Keys, keeping track of each API key per contract/ org is causing confusion.

    Lack of flexibility on subscriptions per userDuplicate

    On behalf of a customer:When an org has access to both SkySat and PlanetScope. Users that need to have access to SkySat need to be in the same org. IF users of that org need to have restricted access to download quotas, then they have to either choose between the org with access to SkySat Tasking or be in the org with the limited download quota. The Org admin has to spend time figuring out who needs to have access to quota and whether should have to SkySat or PlanetScope’s download quota.

    Being able to Set Up Individual Users Quota LimitsOpen

    Channeling a pain point for many of our E&R customers: not being able to set up individual quota limits it’s a major drawback as well as a risk for many large accounts with many users (particularly campus and large departments). One of my customers said " we are deeply concerned that 1 student could consume all the quota of the whole campus/ department , especially if using APIs”.Because of this, all our E&R customers would greatly benefit from being able to set up individual users quota limits! 🚀

    Enable the client to Implement different user roles in Tasking DashboardOpen

    On behalf of a customer:  Some organizations have lots of users and want a simple way to manage their users. They want to be able to give or revoke access to the tasking dashboard. They want a tool in the Tasking Dashboard that enable them to manage the users and give them roles that would allow them to do different tasks. They are looking for different user roles, such as; Admin, User, Orderer, Receiver, Sharer, Read Only. In addition, they are looking for one super user that can revoke access to all users including the admin.

    Ability to convert UTC display into local time in ExplorerOpen

     Would like the ability to set the UTC time displayed to follow a specific time zone in the Explorer interface. This will help many users more easily search for imagery in their own timezone and lead to a better user experience. See an exmaple here from Esri Inc - if Explorer settings could have an option to change Timezone display, similar to a drop down seen below.
