Special processing considerations: Incident Management

In Incident Management, each action taken on an incident record has the option of adding an additional page; therefore, update and delete operations are not truly performed. Even though there is a Save button, the application is really adding a new record to the problem table. When you close an incident, a page can be added to the file with a status of closed. Consequently, when using Format Control on Incident Management, the add field must evaluate to true.

Format Control records are only executed on the initial, browse, open, update, and close forms for Incident Management.

Format Control can be placed on the following forms, or by using the master Format Control called probsummary.

  • IM.open.incident
  • IM.update.incident
  • IM.close.incident
  • IM.browse
