Target Worksheet (Observer)

This worksheet is available in both trainee and standalone mode. This worksheet is for planning purposes only and functions exactly the same way as the asset target list worksheet. The difference, user must export the data and then import to the Target Worksheet (Assets) for use in shift missions. The user has the ability to delete and rename previously recorded targets. To view this window, from the main menu system: Records->Target Work Sheet (Observer)

When the ‘Recorded as target’ option is selected from the ‘Adjustment’ window, the target details will appear on this work sheet. In a network scenario, the observer target worksheet needs to be loaded up by the VBS2Combined Arms Trainee terminal and the same worksheet must be imported into the Asset Target worksheet in the VBS2Combined Arms Instructor mode. Only then those targets can be used in shift missions.
