Incident Reports in Dashpivot: Digital Reporting, Workflows & Analytics

Learn how to manage incident reports in Dashpivot — complete reports on site, automate notifications, and track patterns with real-time analytics.

Written by Sam

Manage safety incident reports in Dashpivot with digital forms, automated workflows, and real-time analytics. Capture incidents on site from any device, route them to the right people for sign-off, and keep a complete audit-ready record of every incident.

How it works

Key Features

  • Always accessible — Access the incident report form on site at any time via the Dashpivot mobile app on iOS or Android

  • Photo capture — Attach photos on the spot while filling out the form

  • Automatic notifications — Notify the right people immediately using automated workflow notifications

  • Automatic register — Generate a register of all incidents automatically

  • Pattern tracking — Identify patterns over time such as recurring incident types, locations, or parties involved

Best Practices

  • Set up your incident template as a workflow to manage the reporting and sign-off process

  • Set up workflow notifications to alert the right person or people at each stage

  • Include a photo field so visual detail can be captured on site

  • Include a single-line text field as a title, then in template settings, display this field on the form thumbnail so records can be identified quickly in the register

  • Use list fields where applicable (e.g. incident type, location, trade) so records can be found faster in the register view and patterns can be identified in analytics charts

Getting started

Access a free Incident Report template from the Dashpivot template library. Go to Templates > Add Template > Browse free templates and search for Incident.


Using Storm AI Templates

You can use Storm to generate an incident report template tailored to your site or reporting requirements.

  1. Open your template library and select Add Template, then choose Build with AI

  2. Describe what you need, for example:

"Create an incident report template with fields for incident type, location, people involved, immediate actions taken, photo capture, and a corrective action workflow"

💡 You can also use the voice recorder to describe your requirements instead of typing. Review Storm's output in the template editor before publishing.
