  • Dashboard: After login, you'll see your dashboard with incident statistics, recent incidents, and quick actions.
  • Navigation: Use the sidebar (desktop) or bottom navigation (mobile) to move between sections.
Note: Your role determines what you see. Viewers see read-only data, while Staff and above can take actions.
2 Reporting an Incident
  • Click the "Report Incident" button from the dashboard or sidebar.
  • Fill in the Title - be specific and descriptive.
  • Select the appropriate Category (IT/Network, Safety, Security, Infrastructure, etc.).
  • Choose your Department - this determines who handles the incident.
  • Set the Severity (Low, Medium, High, Critical) based on impact.
  • Set the Priority to indicate urgency.
  • Provide a detailed Description - include what happened, when, where, and who is affected.
  • Add Tags to help categorize the incident.
  • Upload Photos, Videos, or Documents as evidence (max 20MB each).
  • Check "Report Anonymously" if you want to hide your identity.
Tip: Good photos and clear descriptions help resolve incidents faster. Include exact location and GPS coordinates if possible.

4 Tracking Your Incidents
  • Go to Incidents from the sidebar to see all incidents.
  • Use filters to find incidents by status, severity, department, or date.
  • Click on any incident to view its full details, timeline, and comments.

  • Use @username to mention other users and #tag for labels.
  • All users involved in the incident can see and reply to comments.
7 SLA & Escalation
  • SLA (Service Level Agreement): Each incident category has a defined SLA time.
  • Breach: If the SLA time is exceeded, the incident is marked as "Overdue".
  • Auto-Escalation: If an incident breaches SLA multiple times, it's automatically escalated.
  • Escalation Matrix: Defines who to escalate to based on incident category and severity.
  • HODs and Admins can configure escalation matrices in the admin panel.
Important: SLA breaches are tracked and count towards department performance metrics.
8 Notifications
  • You'll receive email notifications when incidents are assigned to you, escalated, or resolved.
  • The bell icon in the top bar shows unread notifications count.
  • Click the bell to see recent notifications, or go to the Notifications page to view all.
