Incidents Summary Report by Category
1.The Incident Summary Report by Category allows administrators to filter and view incident records based on specific incident classifications. Its primary purpose is to help security and administrative teams track and analyze event trends across various categories within a specified timeframe and location. This article is intended for OPS-COM administrators responsible for security reporting and incident management.
Setup and Configuration
The Incident Summary Report by Category is a standard reporting feature within the incident management module and requires no specialized system setup to run. However, administrators must have the appropriate incident viewing and reporting permissions assigned to their user role to access this page.
Using this Feature
Administrators can use this report to generate a high-level overview of incidents grouped by category, with the ability to drill down into specific sub-category reports for more detailed information.

Best Practices and Considerations
-
Standardized Categorization: Organizations should ensure that
incident.field officers consistently apply the correct categories and sub-categories during initial incident entry. If incident types are logged inconsistently, this report will not provide an accurate reflection of security trends. -
Targeted Audits: Use this report on a monthly or quarterly basis to identify which types of incidents are most prevalent on your property, allowing your organization to strategically adjust enforcement policies or deploy additional resources to mitigate those specific issues.
