Syncing Incident Management 'Situation' to Incident Reporting
You can sync your Situation Report form in your Incident Management account (Operations Center platform) to a draft incident in your Incident Reporting account. Setting up synchronization will reduce duplication of effort. Note that a subscription to both Operations Center and Incident Reporting is required to utilize this feature.
🔑 ACCESS LEVEL: Account Owner
ℹ️ NOTE: Only one member needs to configure the synchronization. Once field mapping has been set up, synchronization will occur automatically. There will no longer be the option to choose what to do with the data when shutting down an incident as the default is now to push it to Incident Reporting as a new draft.
⚠️ ATTENTION: You will first need to add custom fields to your Incident Reporting account to be able to map the fields across from your situation.
⚠️ ATTENTION: It's important to note that once this integration is enabled, the next time you start a new incident Channel in Incident Management (Operations Center platform) a Draft Incident Report will automatically be created. See below how to turn this off.
ℹ️ NOTE: Make sure you have already added an API Access Key

Field Mapping
ℹ️ NOTE: If you are using the channel 'status' field on the situation, you will need to create a custom field for this in your Incident Reporting account. It can be mapped to a text or text area field type.
Refer to the following field type equivalencies when mapping:
