Triggering a Crisis
A crisis is automatically triggered if some conditions are met.
You can also trigger a crisis manually from an incident.
Crisis Automatic Triggering
Crisis triggering context
A crisis creation wizard appears automatically if the user connects an incident to a risk, which is in turn connected to a process connected to an ongoing BCP.
The incident and the risk can be connected in two different ways:
From the incident property page (Qualitative analysis section)
From the risk property page (Incidents page)
The crisis management wizard appears only if:
the incident status is “To be validated” or “Validated”.
the risk appears in the list of the BCP triggering risks.
