Incident Management

What are Major Incidents?

An Incident is called a Major Incident when it is a High Priority Incident. The Analysts identify an Incident as a Major Incident based on the Priority of the Incident logged and the number of Child Incidents linked to the Parent Incident. You can set the configuration for Major Incidents. If the configured Major Incident settings are met, the Major Incident check box is enabled on the INCIDENT ID page. The Analyst can select the check box to identify the Incident as a Major Incident.

To add Major Incidents:

  1. Select Incident > Configuration > Others > Major Incident.
  2. On the MAJOR INCIDENT page, click ADD NEW on the ACTIONS panel.
  3. Select the Tenant and other conditions for Major Incident. For more information about fields on the MAJOR INCIDENT page, see Field Description.
  4. Click SUBMIT. A new Major Incident configuration is added.
