NAVEX One EthicsPoint Incident Management FAQs

This topic answers frequently asked questions on using NAVEX One EthicsPoint Incident Management. The questions and answers are intended for individuals who are performing both end-user actions and administrative-type actions in the application.

EthicsPoint Incident Management puts an array of incident tracking tools in your hands, allowing you to capture and track multiple aspects of any issue or event. You can investigate ethics and compliance cases when an employee files a report of wrongdoing or when an anonymous report is submitted. What you can see and do in EthicsPoint depends, in part, on the tier access your administrator assigns to you.

When you log into EthicsPoint you are taken directly to the application unless more than one NAVEX point solution exists. In that case, you will see the NAVEX One landing page where you may have access to other applications based upon your role, permissions, and responsibilities.

Note: Administrators have access to the NAVEX One platform Admin Settings.

New user profiles are created using the Admin Settings of NAVEX One. Once a new user profile has been created in NAVEX One, access can be given to the EthicsPoint application. See Adding a User in NAVEX One for more information.

A user is given access to EthicsPoint when an administrator assigns Application Access using the Manage User Access option in the Admin Settings of NAVEX One. Options can include permission to view and edit Synopsis Fields, allow access to Premium Analytics, Tier assignment, and more. See Provisioning a New User for detailed instructions.

To access the application directly, type [clientkey].navexone.com/incidents in your browser. To confirm your organization's clientkey, contact your System Administrator.

You can unlock a user's account by changing the Locked Out? field under User Settings in the User Manager > All Users option of the Admin Settings in NAVEX One. See Managing Users for detailed instructions.

When you submit a case using Digital Intake, the origin of the case is shown in the Intake Method field of the case. See Cases Overview for more information.

When a case is created in EthicsPoint a case number is automatically assigned. There are different methods for determining a case number. See Editing Case Numbers for more information.

Note: The method your organization uses was determined at implementation. If you have questions about your organizations settings, contact NAVEX Customer Support by submitting a request in the Community.

System-wide numbering

One set of chronological case numbers is assigned for all cases throughout the system.
Tier-specific numbering

Each tier uses its own set of case numbers.

If this option is selected, your organization must also use tier-specific custom identifier prefixes to ensure each case number in the system is unique.
Dynamic numbering

When a case moves to a new tier, the case number will increment to the next available number in that tier. If this setting is not enabled, the case number will not change even when the case moves to a different tier.

To see a list of your cases, click Assignments, and in the Assigned To column locate your name. You can narrow a long list of cases by applying a filter using the Change view list, select Cases, and then select your name in the Assignees list.

In addition to the default case views on your Home page, you can add a Summary - Assignee widget. This widget displays cases assigned to each assignee in a donut chart. You can also view a full report by clicking on the gear icon. For detailed instructions on adding widgets to your Home page, see Home Page Overview.

Problems and requests for assistance should be directed to your internal help desk. Administrators can contact NAVEX Customer Support by submitting a request in the Community.

When submitting an incident report, it is recommended that you write down your Report Key and password and store them safely, as resetting them is not an available option. If you have lost your Report Key and password, submit a new report summarizing the incident previously reported and note that you no longer have the previous Report Key and password.
