About Incident Hierarchy

Incident hierarchy lets you link related incidents through parent records.

You can create parent, dependent, and associated incidents.

  • A dependent incident is a consequence or result of its parent incident.
  • An associated incident occurs at, or at about, the same time as an incident, but isn't directly caused by that incident.

    For example, if two transit vehicles collided, a parent record should be created for the careless driver and an associated record created for the second driver. Add further dependent and associated records as needed.
