Incident Types

On this page:

Once you have created incident codes and subcodes, you then must create incident types. Using incident types, you can control which users can view and enter specific types of incidents. There is no limit to the number of incident types you can create. For example, create a Counselors incident type. Then, use the security settings to allow a specific group to view and create the Counselors incident type. The incident types you define appear for Incident Type on the Incident Detail page.
