Incident offers two different status choices to use when completing work, Complete and Closed Incident. Some organizations prefer to use just one and others will use both. When using both, the Complete status will usually indicate that the work has been done, but there is information that still needs to be added to the incident, such as transactions. The Closed Incident status is used when all of the information on the incident has been documented. When an incident has been marked in the Closed Incident status, transactions and other notes can no longer be added. *Note: If changes need to be made to a Closed Incident, you can change the status to Complete, make the necessary changes, and move the status back to Closed.
