Completing an Incident and Reviewing Status History

When an incident is completed, specify the appropriate status (Closed, Complete, or whatever status your company uses to indicate completion) in the Status Code field on the Incidents form. (When you define status codes on the Service Status Codes form, you determine which statuses indicate completion by selecting the Closed check box.) For an incident with a completed status, all fields except the Status Code field are disabled on the Incidents form.

You can review the history of all changes to this incident's status code, for example, to see if the incident was on hold at any point or if it was opened and closed more than one time. To do this, click History on the Status tab of the Incidents form. The Incident Status History form is displayed. Whenever the incident status code was changed, a snapshot of other information was stored: owner, date of the change, and user.

If a change was made from Mobile and GPS is enabled, the GPS location and date are also saved, so you can plot the location where the status was changed on the Map form.
