ActivePOS incidents and detectors

Incidents are special events resulting from an analysis of personnel actions. They represent violations of a retail outlet's established operating rules.

For example:

  • Violation of cash-handling rules: "Sale receipt printed without signature", "Product released without receipt", etc.
  • Violations causing intentional or unintentional harm to the organization or customers: "Simulated product scanning", "Product sold with understated weight", etc.
  • Violations resulting from failure to comply with internal company standards: "Store opened late", "Cell phone used", etc.
  • And so forth.

Tip

You can use quick contextual search to quickly find an incident.

The following types of incidents are used in TRASSIR:

  • Automatically detected - Incidents are detected using configured detectors.
  • Manually detected - Incidents whose confirmation requires operator involvement. See the Operator's Guide (ActivePOS incidents) for a description of manually detected incidents and how to confirm them.

To begin incident detection, set the checkbox next to the desired incident. When using automatically detected incidents, set the checkbox for the corresponding detector.
