Incidents signify problems or issues that require attention and resolution. When triggered on services, an escalation policy prompts notifications to be sent to on-call responders, who are responsible for promptly mitigating the issue.
The Incident List provides a convenient, single-glance view of all your incidents and their relevant information.
Note: To view the Incident List for a specific team, simply select the desired team from the team picker located at the top.
This section lists all the incidents of your team for the selected time period. You can select one or more incidents to perform bulk actions. Note: This also includes all the Suppressed incidents.
Depending on your specific use case, there are multiple methods available to trigger incidents in Squadcast:
| Method | Manner |

Navigate to the Incidents List page -> Click Create New Incident on top right.
In the side panel, enter the Incident Title, optional Description, select the Service, specify who should be notified under Assign To, add Tags.
Click on Create to complete.
To search for a specific incident, enter its Incident Message in the Search field and hit enter.
To perform bulk actions, please select one or more incidents.
