Assoc Files

The Assoc [Associated] Files tab enables you to record the file and path name of data files (e.g., digital pictures and scanned forms) that pertain to the incident.

• Note: If an incident is closed, it cannot be modified. You must change the status to something other than CLOSED before you can modify the data.

• Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on incident ID, type, status, equipment ID, symptom, responsibility, a range of occurred dates and reported dates, and trip ID, among other values.
