This incident management template is designed to help organizations handle incidents efficiently and effectively. The template allows you to report incidents comprehensively, ensuring all essential details are captured from the start. Each incident can be assigned to a specific category, making it easier to prioritize and manage. Additionally, incidents can be linked to various causes, providing valuable insight for future prevention.

The template allows to create one or multiple responses for each incident, ensuring that teams can document every step taken toward resolution. Responses can be supported by predefined action plans, streamlining the response process and promoting consistency. This ensures that even complex incidents are addressed with the appropriate measures in place.

Whether you’re a small team or a large organization, this template improves coordination between departments, tracks the progress of incident resolution, and helps identify patterns or recurring issues. By organizing incident management in a structured manner, your team can enhance its ability to respond promptly, reduce downtime, and prevent future occurrences, contributing to a safer and more reliable operational environment.

The first step to start using this template is by importing your employees in the corresponding table, followed by defining categories, and causes for incidents.

Once this information is filled in, you can start reporting incidents. This is possible through either the database UI, the database form or the application. There are multiple views in the Incidents table to obtain a good overview of all the incidents from different perspectives.

Incidents are solved by adding responses to them. A response can use a predefined action plan. Adding and editing responses to an incident can be done both in the database UI or through the application.
