Configuring incident types for Genetec Mission Control™ - Genetec Mission Control™ 2.11 GA

For every type of situation that requires your security team's intervention, you can define a Genetec Mission Control™ incident. An incident type is an entity that represents a situation that requires specific actions to resolve it. The incident type entity can also be used to automate the incident detection in Mission Control and to enforce the standard operating procedures that your security team must follow.

1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Incident configuration task.
2. Click the Incident configuration view (if not selected).
3. (Optional) Select or create an incident category.
4. Click Incident, and enter the name of the incident type.
5. In the Identity page, configure the appearance of the incidents on maps (Icon and Color).
   Genetec Mission Control™ entities share the same set of custom icons. You can use any PNG or JPG file as an icon. A PNG file with transparent background works best.
