Add Events to an Incident in the Events View

When conducting an investigation in the Events view, you can select one or more events and create an incident that is available for incident responders in Respond. When you create an incident, if access restrictions are in effect, you can view only incidents to which you have access. For example, when creating incidents from the Investigate view, analysts must assign the incidents to themselves to view them in the Respond view. You can also add events to an existing incident in Respond to which you have access.

Note: An administrator must configure the respond-server.incident.manage and investigate-server.incident.manage roles and permissions. For more information, see "Role Permissions" and "Manage Users with Roles and Permissions" in the System Security and User Management Guide.
