Create and Manage Configurable Fieldsets for Incidents

Background

Configurable fieldsets allow you to tailor the data entry experience to match the specific needs of different incident types. By customizing which fields and sections appear—such as adding a police report field for vehicle collisions or hiding environmental records when they are not relevant—you can ensure your team captures high-quality data without navigating unnecessary fields.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

    • 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Admin tool.

  • Additional Information:

    • You can create up to 15 incident types: five default types and 10 custom types.

    • Existing incidents are automatically assigned the 'General' incident type.

    • Incident types must be active at the Company level to be available for use on projects.

Steps

Configure Incident Types

  1. Navigate to the Company level Admin tool.

  2. Under 'Tool Settings', click Incidents.

    • Default Incident types include:
