List Filters & Default View 

  • The filter options can be selected using the dropdown menus, ticking the checkbox or selecting date ranges. 
  • These filters include soft deleted items, unsigned incidents, type, dates and category of the incident report. Once ticked within the initial filters dropdown menu, these options will populate across the top navigation bar.

  • To save a new default view, click on the heart icon. This will update to now display this new default view when you first open the page. 

For example, you might update your default view for public incidents that are unsigned so you can keep track of both your own incident reports and those you are required to sign off.
