Open an Incident for Editing

If your duties include responding to customers, publishing answers to your website, working with opportunities and sending quotes to customers, or keeping customer information up-to-date, you can easily access information and take the actions you need.

The procedure to open records is the same for all record types (incidents, answers, contacts, opportunities, organizations, tasks, and assets).
  1. Click Incidents on the navigation pane.
  2. Double-click an incidents report. The report opens on the content pane.
    Tip: The default setting requires that you double-click an item to open it. However, you can change the default so that items open with a single click. See Change Your Navigation Pane Settings.

    You can zoom in and out of a report using the slider on the bottom right of the content pane. Click the plus sign to zoom in on specific details or click the minus sign to zoom out to see more of the report. You can also drag the slider left or right to decrease or increase magnification.

  3. Right-click an incident and select Open > Incident. The content pane populates with the incident’s information.

    Additional ways to open a record include the following options.

    • Selecting the record and clicking Open on the ribbon
    • Clicking Open in the Action column
    • Double-clicking the record
