As the Genetec Mission
Control™ incident owner, you can
show the progress of your incident resolution to other users by changing the incident
state.
Before you begin
If the incident belongs to another user, you must first
take ownership of the incident before you can
change its state. If the incident has no owner, changing an incident state automatically makes
you the owner of the incident.
Procedure
-
In the Incident monitoring task, select an incident.
Do one of the following:
- Right-click an incident in the incident list.
- Right-click an incident on the map.
- If the incident is selected, click Actions (
) at
the bottom of the incident details pane.
-
In the contextual menu, click Change state to.
-
Select one of the states from the list:
The predefined incident states are:
- New
- The incident has just been triggered and no activity is recorded. If using the
default settings, you can change a new incident to In progress or
Closed.
- In progress
- Actions are being taken for this incident. If using the default settings, you can change an incident from In progress to any other state.
- On hold
- The incident is paused. For example, you might do this if higher priority incident
requires your attention, or if you are waiting for external information before moving
forward with the procedure. When changing the state of an incident
to On hold, indicate for how long you want to pause the incident and click
Apply. The incident reverts to its original state as soon
as the hold time expires. If using the default settings, you can change an
incident from On hold to any other state.
- Resolved
- The situation is resolved and ready to be closed. If using the default settings, you
must complete all the steps in the standard operating procedure (SOP) before you can
set an incident to Resolved. You can change the incident from Resolved
to any other state.
You need the Forcibly resolve incidents with incomplete
SOPs privilege to resolve incidents without completing all the steps in the
SOP.
- Closed
- Everything that needs to be done for this incident has been done. If using the
default settings, you must resolve an incident before you can close it. After an
incident is closed, you can no longer make any changes to it. Closed incidents are
removed from the Incident monitoring task, but all information
remains available in the system for auditing, investigation, and analysis.
You need
the Forcibly close unresolved incidents privilege to close unresolved
incidents.
-
If you are ready to change the state to Resolved but not all SOP steps have been
completed, click one of the following:
- Complete SOP and resolve
- Completes the remaining steps before changing the incident state. Depending on
your system configuration and the incident type, you might not have the privileges
to do this.
- Resolve
- Changes the incident state without completing the remaining steps. Depending on
your system configuration and the incident type, you may not have the privileges to
do this.
- Cancel
- The incident remains in its current state.
