What information can staff record in an incident report?
Staff can record a title, description, incident type, Low through Critical severity, occurrence date and time, location, room, involved guests and staff, witnesses, immediate actions, reservation or confirmation number, assignment, photos, videos, and whether to notify managers. The reporter identity and property-specific incident number are set by the system.
Which incident types and statuses are available?
The page includes Guest Injury, Staff Injury, Guest Dispute, Guest Complaint, Theft, Vandalism, Property Damage, Safety Event, Fire / Smoke, Vehicle / Parking, Medical Emergency, Policy Violation, and Other. Statuses are Open, In Progress, Pending Review, Resolved, and Closed.
Can staff attach photos and videos?
Yes. The create workflow supports photo and video attachments, and the detail view lets staff add or remove photos and update the incident's video collection. Attachment availability still depends on the hotel's storage and upload setup.
How are ownership, resolution, and deletion handled?
Staff with page access can assign an incident to an active member of the same hotel and update severity or status. Resolving or closing requires a resolution note; the detail view can also record a resolution category and who resolved it. Deletion is restricted to supported administrator roles.
What does the incident timeline record?
The timeline records report creation, status changes, severity changes, assignment changes, confirmation-number changes, resolution-note updates, and staff follow-up comments. It is a focused activity history, not a claim that every field view or edit is immutable or captured.
Who receives incident notifications?
Eligible active users can receive in-app notifications for creation, assignment, status changes, resolution, and high or critical severity events based on recipient rules, mute state, and the Incident Reports topic setting. Push is attempted only when the property's notification service and each recipient's device are configured, so delivery is not guaranteed.
What is included in the PDF export?
An authenticated user with Incident Reports page access can export one report as a branded PDF. The export is assembled from that report's operational details, available photos, resolution information, and timeline. It does not submit a claim, notify authorities, or guarantee that an insurer, attorney, regulator, or brand will accept the record.
Does Incident Reports include supervisor signatures or automatic case handling?
No. The current workflow does not provide supervisor e-signature, draft-and-resume filing, automatic police or insurance submission, automatic Guest Complaint linkage, or an immutable legal archive. Hotels should follow their own emergency, insurance, legal, brand, and retention procedures outside the module.
