Incomplete Report Items
If you attempt to close a report that has items that are incomplete, a pop-up window will appear, “You must complete the following items before you can close this report.” Below you will see a bullet list of all items that need to be completed before closing the report.
- Example: “Close or complete all Corrective/Preventative Actions” or “Indicate that you have called OSHA by selecting Yes in the red banner at the top of the report.”
To exit this window, click Ok and you will be returned to the report to make the necessary changes before closing the report.
Re-Open A Report
If you would like to re-open a report that was previously closed, from the Report Management menu, at the top of the page you will see a text box Re-Open Incident. This will now list the report as “Open.”
