Create Detailed Incidents

Using the Incident Detail page, you can create discipline incidents. The Incident Detail page consists of the following two sections, which are used to enter specific information regarding the discipline incident: Incident Description and Incident Builder. These sections can be expanded and collapsed to help make entering and reviewing information on the page more manageable. Click the section title to expand or collapse the section on the page.

If the Create Incident button does not appear, either the incident types have not yet been defined or you do not have the appropriate security permissions.
