Understanding the Incident Log Tab

The Incident Log tab in the Incident window shows a history of the events that occurred in the incident from the time the incident was created until the incident is closed.

The Log tab has the following sub-tabs:

• Chat: Shows a history of the chats between the dispatch operator and the responders in the incident.

You can also chat with responders from the Incident Log tab as well as update the incident log.

Timetable

The timetable shows all the mobile users who were dispatched to the incident, the time they reported that they were en-route to the incident and on scene, and finally the time when they reported that they completed their role in the incident.

If a mobile user is unable to report these times using their app, the dispatch operator can manually enter the time and date by clicking on the + icon and adding the information manually. The system identifies the updated reporter by displaying the user type icon next to the time/date.
