LALITE - SCHOOL IT INCIDENT RECORD TEMPLATE https://lalite.org/school-it-guide/templates/incident-record Use this when a fault needs a clear history or will pass to another technician. Start with the effect on the school day, rather than a guessed technical cause. REFERENCE, TIME AND OWNER Use the approved ticket reference, the time the fault was reported and the role responsible for the next action. [Enter your own accurate record here] IMPACT AND SCOPE State which rooms, services and tasks are affected, and which checked examples still work. [Enter your own accurate record here] OBSERVED EVIDENCE Copy the exact error and record relevant timestamps. Link to restricted evidence in the approved system. [Enter your own accurate record here] CHECKS AND CHANGES Record each check, its result and any authorised change. Separate observation from interpretation. [Enter your own accurate record here] NEXT ACTION AND UPDATE Give the next check, its owner and a specific update time. Keep unresolved work open. [Enter your own accurate record here] OUTCOME, VERIFICATION AND LEARNING Record the recovery test, confirmation from the affected user and one practical improvement. [Enter your own accurate record here] CHECK THE RECORD - Could another technician continue without repeating your checks? - Does every open action have an owner and update time? - Does the recorded outcome describe a real verification test? Free to adapt for your school's internal work. Fictional examples are on the linked website page.
