How do you make sure that you have the perfect summary for your incident? What about making sure that you’ve not forgotten any follow-ups? Well, you use suggested summaries and suggested follow-ups of course!
We’ve now brought the magic and ease of these features into the dashboard, helping save you time and effort throughout your incident journey.
When joining a new incident, the incident summary is the first place that responders and observers look to get up to speed. Sometimes though it can be time-consuming to ensure that the summary represents the most up-to-date version about what’s happening in an incident.
With suggested summaries we highlight an up to summary for you at the top of the incident page that you can quickly accept, skip, or edit without having to spend trawling through what’s happened yourself.
Follow-ups are an important part of tidying up after an incident. They help to keep track of any improvements, fixes, process changes, or anything else that might need doing to help ensure you can respond your best in the future.
In the heat of the moment you might have mentioned something you needed to do then later forgotten about it. To help avoid and save you some time checking the moment an incident resolves, we will look back through the channel and spot anywhere follow-ups were discussed.
We highlight these suggested follow-ups for you within the follow-ups tab where you can easily create them directly into follow-ups to complete or export to your favorite integration!
