Quickly capture the reporter’s details and high-level details about the incident. Then, complete assessment questions to get more specific information. If the reporter doesn’t have enough time or doesn’t have the details of what occurred, enter a summary in the Running Notes field, and then add the information later by using the Add Allegation and Add Participants guided flows.
