Tracking and Updating Incidents with the Incident Queue Console

Use the fields and buttons on the Incident Queue Console to track and maintain incidents after they are created. The console collects all of the incident information and links on a single form.

Use the top left pane to get a quick view of the overall incident picture:

Incidents

This field shows the incidents.

Late

The number of late incidents in the grid is displayed. Lateness is determined based on the date of entry and the priority code assigned to the incident.
