# Set up incident classification codes

Incident classification codes contain information on what the incident focuses on, called the incident type. Choose the codes from a list of option values: **Material**, **Man**, or **Machine**.

For each classification code, you can also add an incident area. The following combinations of incident type and incident area are typically used:

- **Material**: Customer, Vendor, Third Party, Production, Warehouse Activity
- **Man**: Resource
- **Machine**: Resource (or Employee if that table is in use)

The **Incident Area ID** is the table that can be linked to the incident area.

On the **Incident Entry** page, once an incident is created, the **Incident Classification Code** is filled in automatically based on the source on which the incident was created. This allows the incident classification to be used for easy reporting on the sources of different incidents raised.

The RapidStart package delivered with the release contains a default setup of the incident classification table.
