If an emerging situation does not automatically trigger an incident in your Genetec Mission
Control™ system, you can trigger an incident
manually.
What you should know
You can trigger incidents from either the dedicated
Incident
monitoring task or the generic
Monitoring task. A predefined
list of incident types configured by your administrator are available for you to choose from.
If you are not a configured recipient of the selected incident type, you will not see the
incident you create in your
Security
Desk
workspace.
Procedure
-
Do one of the following:
- From the Incident monitoring task, right-click a location on
the map, and select Trigger incident.
- From the Incident monitoring task toolbar, select
Trigger incident.
With this method, you must specify the
incident location manually.
- From the Incident monitoring task toolbar, click the
Select map list, right-click an area and select
Trigger incident.

area and select Trigger incident.

If the location is not already selected, use the Location list
to select the area or entity where the incident is occurring.
If you triggered the incident directly from a map or by right-clicking an area or
entity, the location is automatically selected. If the map is georeferenced, the
coordinates of the point you clicked are automatically attached to the incident.
-
Click Trigger.
NOTE: You can have multiple
Trigger incident dialog boxes open
simultaneously and still perform operations in the
Incident
monitoring task.
When you close the Incident
monitoring task, any open dialog boxes in the closed Incident
monitoring task will also be closed.
