Incident Management - November 13, 2026 - 202611.1.0 (Fall Release)
General Availability
- Enhancements to Incident Management Web Forms
-
Copy an existing web form within an environment, delete web forms that are no longer needed, and export or import complete web form configurations between environments or tenants. These enhancements reduce the time and effort required to manage Incident web forms. You can now reuse existing configurations instead of recreating similar forms, remove outdated forms to keep environments organized, and move web forms between environments with greater consistency.
For more information, see Copying an Incident Web Form, Deleting an Incident Web Form, and Exporting and Importing Incident Web Forms.
- Enhancements to User Groups and Organization Assignments
-
User groups can now be configured to receive email notifications for incident workflow actions. This enhancement means user groups can now receive notifications when an incident moves to the In progress stage. Additionally, Organizations now load according to the parent-child hierarchy configured in a web form's settings. This enhancement means you no longer have to manually assign an incoming incident to the correct organization, and incidents reach the right owner automatically.

New Public Preview Features
- Unified Table Experience in Attribute Manager
-
Attribute Manager in Incident Management now offers a unified, standardized table experience with paginated, resizable tables and consistent search, sort, and filter behavior. This replaces inconsistent filtering, sorting, and table behavior across Attribute Manager experiences, making configuration faster, easier, and more reliable for Site Admins and managers who configure objects, attributes, and assessments, and reducing the risk of misinterpreting data.
These enhancements will be available for the following Incident Management objects:
-
Incident
-
- Standardized Attribute Export
-
Attribute data in Incident Management can now be exported from the Attribute Manager, giving administrators consistent, reliable data for audits, reporting, and governance reviews. Exports can include the full attribute set or only filtered results, and column selection limits each file to the relevant fields.
These enhancements will be available for the following Incident Management objects:
-
Incident
-
- Standard Table Experience and Customize Option Order for Attribute Options
-
The attribute options table in the Incident Management Attribute Manager now uses the standard OneTrust table, providing a consistent, standardized table experience. The new Reorder options experience makes it easier to customize the order of attribute options. A Customize option order setting now appears above the options list in place of the checkbox and drag handle on each row, and the Search options field remains in the same place. Adopting the standard table simplifies maintaining attribute options and supports future maintenance.
