Additional Information

The Incidents program creates invoices for reimbursement of costs related to response and investigation resources for incidents sch as false alarms, corporate and residential security alarms, or citizen citations such as noise or animal complaints. The program supports escalated billing, meaning each incident type may be configured to be billable and the charge amounts can escalate based on the number of times each incident is reported for a particular customer.

Prior to using the Incidents program, use the Incident Types program to create incident codes and define the incident tracking parameters for your organization using the Incident Settings program. 

The displayed incidents depend on the value of the Show Closed Incidents checkbox in Incident Settings. If this checkbox is not selected, the program only displays incomplete incidents or incidents that have not been invoiced.

You cannot delete an incident that has been invoiced.
