Incident record approval

From a restored case to an approved outage incident record.

Step by step

  1. Submit incident record Outage Coordinator

    The outage coordinator prepares the incident record with the service area, start time, affected customers and restoration time, and submits it.

    • Record submitted
    • Updates Outage incidents
  2. Approve incident record Utility Supervisor

    An independent utility supervisor checks it against the case's field evidence and the frozen revision and approves it; the verified restoration is recorded once.

    • Record approved; restoration verified
    • Updates Outage incidents, Review decisions
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  3. Correct or cancel scope Outage Coordinator or Utility Supervisor

    If something was wrong, the case owner requests a correction with a reason. Draft scope is cancelled; executed scope is changed only through a reviewed correction.

    • Scope corrected or cancelled
    • Updates Service cases, Outage incidents, Review decisions

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • The start time is when the record was typed, not when the outage began.
  • The coordinator approves their own incident record.
  • An approved record is edited later and the reliability report changes silently.
