Time Tracking Incidents

Time Tracking Incidents

Purpose and when to use this record

Record a block of categorized time associated with an officer, incident, case, or other agency work.

At a glance

  • Identify it by: Incident Number, and Date.

  • Check its business context: Category, and Officer.

  • Why care: Use the agency’s approved terminology and access policy. Preserve dates, responsible personnel, case links, and audit history because these records may support official reporting or custody review.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on time tracking incidents. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Have valid Category, and Officer records ready first. Those selections determine where this Time Tracking Incident belongs and which later screens can find it.

Create a Time Tracking Incident

Create a Time Tracking Incident only after confirming that the source document or operational event has not already been entered.

  1. Select the business context first: Category, and Officer.

  2. Enter the required identifying and operational values: Date, Location, Category, and Officer.

  3. Review Incident Number, and Call Type against the source document or approved setup decision.

  4. Save the Time Tracking Incident, then confirm Incident Number, and Date on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Verify Category, and Officer on the detail page, then continue the law enforcement workflow only when those values agree with the source document and actual work performed.

Delete a Time Tracking Incident

Delete this Time Tracking Incident only when it was entered by mistake and no downstream history depends on it. Use a reversal, void, credit, counter-adjustment, or status correction for a real event that later changed.

Before confirming, check for related Time Tracking Entries. Brisk may refuse deletion when another record depends on this one; resolve the duplicate or use the supported correction workflow instead of breaking the trail.

On the confirmation page, verify Incident Number, and Date. After confirmation, return to the Time Tracking Incidents list and make sure only the intended Time Tracking Incident was removed.

Review Time Tracking Incident details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this Time Tracking Incident currently means. Verify Date before relying on it for a decision.

Follow Category, and Officer to determine whether the issue is on this Time Tracking Incident or on one of those linked records.

Next check: Verify Category, and Officer on the detail page, then continue the law enforcement workflow only when those values agree with the source document and actual work performed.

Edit an existing Time Tracking Incident

Edit this Time Tracking Incident to correct or complete the same source document or operational event; use the supported reversal or follow-up workflow when the business event itself changed.

  1. Open the detail page. Compare Category, and Officer with the supporting document or approved request.

  2. Recheck Date. These values are most likely to change case history, custody, dispatch, official reporting, or audit review.

  3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the Time Tracking Incident now appears under the expected Incident Number, and Date.

After the change: Verify Category, and Officer on the detail page, then continue the law enforcement workflow only when those values agree with the source document and actual work performed.

Find and review time tracking incidents

Use the Time Tracking Incidents list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Incident Number, and Date. Records with similar names or numbers can still belong to different Category, and Officer.

Open the Time Tracking Incident whose Incident Number, and Date match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck the identifying information shown on the screen rather than creating a replacement immediately.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Date, Location, Category, and Officer and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Open Category, and Officer from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
