Incident Types {PIMCS-3}

This option allows the user to create incident types.  At this stage, the system is pre-configured with a number of Incident Types and the user may create new incident types if required. Each Incident Type has its own menu option for the maintenance of related incidents, allowing the system administrator to set access control to specific Incident Types on menu option level. 

The following menu options for the predefined Incident Types exist

• Maintain Injuries on Duty {PIMOPS-1}
• Maintain Traffic Violations {PIMOPS-2}
• Maintain Grievances {PIMOPS-3}
• Maintain Disciplinaries {PIMOPS-4}
• Maintain Grievances and Disciplinaries {PIMOPS-5} (Note that this option can handle both Grievances and Disciplinary Actions)

Processing Rules for this Block (delete if not applicable).

• The program that maintain incidents (pdeapp.fmb) is is called with a parameter from the menu driver.  The parameter is used to restrict the screen to only process incidents where the incident type is equal to the parameter value.
• If a new incident type is created, a new menu option will have to be created in the Menu Structure {USERS-1} where the value of the field "Parameter 1" in the "Menu Options and their Instructions"-tab is equal to the Incident Type code. To see examples, open the Menu Structure{ USERS-1}, navigate to the "Menu Options and their Instructions"-tab and query menu "PIMOPS".
