You can use the Incident report task to search and review incident-related activities, generate reports based on specific criteria, and export incident details with all associated evidence.

NOTE: The Incident task should not be confused with the Incident report task. The Incident task is for Security Center incidents, and the Incident report task is for Genetec Mission Control™ incidents. This section describes the Incident report task.

The following figure shows the Incident report task with an example of a generated report:
