Manage Incident Feed Views
To effectively triage incidents and reduce your MTTR, you need to see the information most critical to your team. With Incident Feed Views, you can customize the tags that appear in the Incident Feed when the Table layout is selected so that the information most relevant to you is always available at a glance.
Incident Feed Views are based on environments, so you can create separate views for different teams working in BigPanda. All users who have access to an environment will see the same customized view within the incident feed.
Key Features
Configure the order that tags appear in the incident feed table view.
Create separate incident feed views for specific environments.
Customize a default view that automatically applies when environments do not have an individual view configured.
Relevant Permissions
Roles with the following permission can interact with the Incident Feed Views page in BigPanda Settings:
Permission Name | Description |
|---|---|
Incident Feed View | View, create, edit, or delete incident feed views. |
Permission access levels can be adjusted by selecting either View or Full Access. To learn more about how BigPanda's permissions work, see the Roles Management guide.
