Every incident has a status that describes where it is in its life. An incident opens as NEW and moves toward RESOLVED as your team investigates and fixes the underlying problem.

The statuses

Allowed transitions

An incident can only move between statuses along defined paths. From any working status you can resolve; WAITING_ON_OEM must return to active work before it can be resolved. Resolving an incident requires resolution notes, unless they were already recorded on the incident earlier. A status change can carry an optional reason, which is recorded on the incident’s history. You change an incident’s status in the console, or through the API with PATCH /incidents/{id} — see API usage. Several incidents can be moved at once with a bulk status change; incidents that cannot take the requested transition are skipped and reported rather than failing the whole request.

Automatic resolution

Some incidents close themselves. When the condition that opened an incident clears — a faulted charger reports itself healthy again, or an offline station comes back online — the platform records the recovery. Once every affected station on the incident has recovered, the incident resolves automatically:
  • Its status becomes RESOLVED.
  • It is marked as auto-resolved, so you can tell incidents the platform closed from those a Support Operator closed (the list can be filtered on this).
Automatic resolution only closes incidents that are still in an early working state — NEW, INVESTIGATING, or MITIGATING. Once a person has moved an incident to WAITING_ON_OEM or POST_MORTEM, closure is theirs to make: the platform will still record that stations recovered, but it leaves the incident open for a Support Operator to close deliberately. Two kinds of recovery drive automatic resolution: a fault clearing on a charger, and connectivity being restored to a station. Your network can turn either off — see Auto-resolution. When a recovery type is turned off, recoveries are still recorded on the roster, but the incident stays open for a Support Operator to close.
Automatic resolution depends on the affected stations’ recovery, not on their live connectivity alone. A station reading online is not the same as its incident being resolved — see Affected stations.
