Incident Management 1

What is a Major Incident?

An Incident is called a Major Incident when it is a High Priority Incident, which is critical and has high impact. It should be resolved on priority and further recurrences should be avoided.

Major Incident Management

An Incident can be identified as a Major Incident in two ways. Whenever a Major Incident is logged, a Problem Record (PR) is created to perform a Root Cause Analysis PM, identify the cause, find a permanent solution, and avoid similar Major Incidents in future. The PRs are created for Major Incidents based on the configuration.

  • The Major Incident check box (with a yellow highlight color) is available on the INCIDENT ID page if the Incident meets the conditions configured by the Administrator (see: Configuring Major Incidents 1). The PR is either created when the Major Incident is resolved or based on the number of Child Incidents that are linked to the Major Incident. For information about managing PRs, see Problem Management.
  • The Major Incident check box is available on the INCIDENT ID page on every Incident details page if configured (see: Configuring Incident Management Module 1). The Analyst can provide a Cause and Preventive Measure for the Major Incident and also choose to create a PR after the Incident is resolved.
  • The Analyst can also initiate a conference call using the MAJOR INCIDENT pop-up page.

To initiate a conference call:

    1. Type in the e-mail addresses of the recipients in the Recipient E-mail IDs field. The auto generated e-mails to the recipients contain the link to join the Conference Call.
    2. Click NOTIFY RECIPIENTS. It triggers the auto generated e-mails.

    3. Click START CONFERENCE to create the conference bridge.

      Notes:

      • CLOSE CONFERENCE – Click CLOSE CONFERENCE to close the conference bridge.
      • Click the copy icon next to the conference bridge type name to copy the Bridge Name, Bridge Number, and Room Number to a clipboard.
      • You can view the list of connected call details on the right pane below the ACTIVE column and the list of disconnected calls below the HISTORY column.
      • These options to join a conference call is displayed if conference call is configured on the Tenant Configuration page.
