1.2. List Incidents

The Incidents list enables you to monitor and take action on the full range of Incidents entered in your system. The screen is extremely versatile and can be used by many different functional groups within your organization. For those who have purchased and are using the Web Portal products, this screen is the primary client-side interface for managing Incidents entered over the web.

Here are some tips for using this screen:

  • The rows in the workbench can be color-coded based on their status. To learn more about color-coding for the Incident list, see: Section 10.1.1, “Configure CRM”.

  • Build and save custom filters to make it easy for different functional groups to access the information they need to work on.

  • Enter search terms in the Search window, then select the QUERY button to quickly locate the Incidents you are looking for.

  • Sort the data on the screen by the columns you use the most. The sort order will be remembered every time you return to the screen.

  • If you have Incident Characteristics defined, you can search and report on these Characteristics using the search filter options and also the column headers.
