Incident Reporting Contact

An "Incident Reporting Contact" is a type of location contact which can be used to identify which user(s) should receive incident notification emails. Since this contact is tied to a specific location, the incident submitter would need to select this location when submitting an incident. Therefore, this contact is not usually applicable to suppliers who do not ship directly to a customer's location. The incident submitter will be shown a list of locations that service their location (ie. most commonly distribution centers). Please note, only active users within FoodLogiQ Connect can be assigned as a contact. If no users have been identified, the Community Contact will receive incident notifications.

When is an Incident Reporting Contact notified?

When an incident has been submitted, there often is a Distributor field, which identifies the distribution center location that is relevant to the location submitting the form.  For example, Restaurant #1 is serviced by Sunshine DC when submitting the form, Restaurant #1 will select Sunshine DC. The incident reporting contact(s) assigned to Sunshine DC may receive the email notification.

You can review which user(s) have been assigned to each of your locations by adding the Incident Reporting Contact column to your Locations list view. See the example below.
