Editing Reports

An incident owner or editor can edit report content as well as the report name until the report is published.  When a report is published, its content is locked and becomes permanent.

All report types can be customized and allow users to add relevent decision content to meet the user's needs. Examples of report contents are:

• Management Action Points for Operations and inbriefs
• Incident Objectives and Requirements for inbriefings
• Fire Behavior Summary
• Risk Assessment Summary

The above items can be combined to create a large, customized inbriefing report.

Note: You can edit only reports that have a status of Available. Once you publish a report, report content and the report name can no longer be edited.

To edit a report:

1. From the Incident list, select the incident > click View Information. The Edit Information page appears.
2. Choose the Reports tab. The Reports list appears.
3. From the Report List, select the report that you want to edit.
4. Click Edit. The Report Editor opens.
5. Make the changes to the report. You can perform the following actions:
   • Type directly into the text editor pane.
   • Copy/paste from outside documents. This function is the same as adding text with the Decision Editor.
   • Insert Incident Content into your Custom Report.
6. Click Save. Your modifications are now part of the custom report.

You can continue to add or modify report content until you publish the report. Once a report is published, it can no longer be edited.
