  3. Fill in the needed data about the incident:

    • On the Categories tab, select and enter the different properties that the VMS administrator has defined for your organization.

    • On the Comments tab, enter free text information about the incident.

    • If possible, write your comments so that the incident project is complete even without any sequences from the VMS.

    • On the Sequence list tab, you can see all the sequences added to the incident project. Review if all sequences are relevant and remove those that aren't.
