Incident Response

Camp Alder's morning support watch is reviewing six fictional cases: a degraded relay, an overdue generator service, a failed gate intercom, pending supply records, carrier maintenance, and a restored weather feed. The selected relay case connects source evidence with an owner, a revision, and the next recovery check.

Fictional support cases. Acknowledgments, assignments, handovers, and resolutions are saved in this local session.

Work a case

Acknowledge case accepts a new case and assigns it to the current operator when it has no owner. Assign owner chooses another member of the supplied team. Add a handover note, then use Resolve case to record how recovery was verified. Handover notes and resolution reasons require 12–1,000 characters and remain in chronological history.

The queue places unresolved cases first, then sorts by priority and report time. Search by case ID, title, or location. A resolved case remains selected and is available under All cases. Keyboard selection moves focus into the selected workspace. On narrow screens, the queue and case stack in that order.

The carrier maintenance case is owned by network operations and has read-only access with a visible explanation. Evidence includes the recorded measurements, fallback checks, source, and capture times. Handover notes preserve outstanding checks for the next watch; resolution records the recovery evidence. This example stores changes only in the current local session.

Application ownership

const [snapshot, setSnapshot] = useState(initialSnapshot);
const [selectedId, setSelectedId] = useState(initialSnapshot.cases[0]?.id ?? null);
 
<IncidentResponse
  snapshot={snapshot}
  selectedId={selectedId}
  onSelectedIdChange={setSelectedId}
  onAction={async (request) => {
    const response = await incidentService.apply(request);
    // Publish the authoritative case data on acceptance or conflict.
    setSnapshot(response.snapshot);
    return response.result;
  }}
/>;

The application supplies cases, evidence, permissions, data quality, operator identity, eligible owners, timestamps, and canonical revisions. onAction receives the case ID, expected revision, and requested action. It returns an accepted, rejected, or conflict result with a user-facing message. The view changes case state only when the application publishes a new snapshot.

Each case retains its open editor, unsaved text or assignment, and the revision present when editing began while you inspect other cases. Pending actions and their results remain attached to that case. Rejection preserves its draft. Conflict requires Review latest case before retrying against the published revision. Transport failure reports an unconfirmed outcome; the application must reconcile that operation before retrying. Cancel discards the current draft. Replacing snapshot.id resets filters, all case drafts, and local request feedback.

applyIncidentAction is the demo's immutable reference reducer. It validates revisions, permissions, owner membership, transitions, action times, and required text. Production services still own atomic writes, authentication, durable audit history, idempotency, subscriptions, attachment retention, and escalation policies. The pattern does not dispatch notifications or make equipment changes.
