More Info |
The More Info tab enables you to record and modify additional information about an incident, such as schedule ID, trip ID, portion of run, marker and segment ID, reporting classification, and individuals who were notified.
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, status, symptom, responsibility, a range of occurred dates and reported dates, schedule ID, and trip ID, among other values.
The fields in the top section of the More Info tab display the incident ID and the name of the user who recorded the incident. These fields are display only.
