Incident Management

What is a Category?

A Category is a group, representing the type of an Incident. The Incidents raised by the End Users are grouped based on these Categories and assigned to the respective Analysts to resolve the Incidents. You can add and modify Category details for a Tenant.

To Configure Category:

  1. Select Incident > Configuration > Incident Masters > Category.
  2. On the CATEGORY page, select the Tenant. A list of all the configured Categories for the selected Tenant is displayed under the DETAILS section.

    • The Red color indicates a deactivated Category.
    • The Yellow color indicates a new Category.

      • If Parent Category is disabled, all Child Categories under that node are disabled. If a Child category is disabled, there is no impact on other Child categories and the Parent Category.
