Adding Victim Information to Incidents

Perform the following procedure to add victim information to incidents. Victim records that you add to an incident also appear in the Contacts view for the incident.

To add victim information to an incident

1. Navigate to the Incidents screen, then the Incident List view.

2. Drill down on the Incident Summary field of the incident record.

3. Navigate to the Victims view.
