Add accident

Record an accident as soon as it is reported: its number, when and where it happened, the vehicle and the driver, with photos of the damage.

How to add an accident

1. From the side menu, open Operations and click Accidents.
2. Click Add accident.
3. Fill in the fields described below.
4. Under Accident photos, click Add photos and choose one or more images.
5. Click Save, or Cancel (or Back) to discard. After saving, the accident details open.

Fields

Accident details

• Accident number (required) — for example the police or insurance report number. It must be unique: two accidents can’t share a number.
• Accident date (required) — today by default. It can’t be in the future.
• Vehicle (required) — the vehicle involved.
• Driver (required) — the driver at the time of the accident.
• Location (required) — where it happened, up to 255 characters.
• Description — what happened, up to 255 characters.

Accident photos

• JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 5 MB each and 20 photos per accident.
• Photos are stored privately, outside the public folder. Only users with the View or Edit permission of Accidents can open them; a shared photo link does not work for anyone else.

How to add or remove photos later

1. Open the accident and click Edit.
2. Under each stored photo, click Remove photo to mark it for deletion. Click Keep photo to change your mind.
3. Click Add photos to attach new ones.
4. Click Save. Marked photos are deleted and new ones added.

Note

The 20-photo limit counts the photos you keep plus the new ones. Remove some before adding more when the accident already has 20.

Note

Requires the Create permission of Accidents in the role editor, and Edit to change photos later.
