Incident Settings – Register Configuration

This settings page will let administrators configure the different registers and its fields. Define how incident types should be grouped in registers and set additional attributes like which field in the register acts as the hyperlink to open the record, fields to be shown, the sequence, and whether it appears in the register search. If you use the Portal feature, the visibility and searchability in the portal can be defined too.
