Creating and Managing Incident Reports on the Dashboard
Track, document and manage incidents with ease using Incident Reports on the Dashboard. This article walks you through how to create reports, schedule interview calls, and understand report statuses.
Before you Begin
-
You need Admin or User Manager access to create or edit reports.
-
Users with read-only access can only view reports.
-
To schedule interview calls, your organisation must have the Virtual Agent Add-on.
What are Incident Reports?
Incident Reports is Duress' incident management module available on the Dashboard. It allows you to:
-
Create reports from Emergencies or Offline Videos
-
Document people and vehicles involved
-
Automate incident creation after an event
-
Sync reports to platforms like Auror
It's available to all Duress users.
What is the Virtual Agent Add-on?
The Virtual Agent is a paid add-on that extends the Incident Reports feature set.
With it, you get:
-
Interview Calls: Let users speak to a Virtual Duress Agent. The agent will ask the user questions about the incident and their answers fill out the report automatically.
-
Automation: Interview calls can be auto-triggered after incidents.
-
Auto-submit to Auror: Reports can be submitted to Auror once the call is complete.
