Edit Consequences

Consequences are the effects, results, or outcomes of the event that is being investigated.

Consequences in Investigations can be created from standalone Investigations or from Observations. Consequences from Observations are originally impacts, but in the automatic transfer, they become consequences, which can be edited. Consequences also come with additional editing capabilities once they have been reviewed, but before they have been signed and verified to move to the "Open" stage.

Find out how you can add information regarding the financial outcome of the consequence after it has been reviewed. Note that the processes are similar on the mobile app.
