# Register an event

The procedure is the same for every [event category](/incidents/event-types): an accident, a near miss and a non-compliance are recorded with the same fields.

## Record the event

[Section titled “Record the event”](#record-the-event)

1.  Open the **office** and select **Events** from the left-hand menu.
2.  Click the **New** icon in the toolbar.
3.  Fill in the fields:
    -   **Name** and **Date**, which are required;
    -   **Code**, if the event has an internal number, and **External reference code**, if it has a reference with an external body;
    -   **Category**, for example **Accidents** or **Non compliance**;
    -   **Status**, which stays **New** for an event just recorded;
    -   **Description Event**, **Description Actions Involved** and **Deponents**;
    -   the **Manager**, **Assignee**, **Watcher** and **Recipient** roles.
4.  Click the **Save** icon (a floppy disk).

The event appears in the list with **Code**, **Date**, **Name**, **Category** and **Status**. Everyone with a role on the event receives a notification.

## Complete the event from its tabs

[Section titled “Complete the event from its tabs”](#complete-the-event-from-its-tabs)

People, resources, actions and attachments are added after saving. When the event is selected in the list, the lower part of the window shows its tabs; double-clicking opens the event in a window of its own, with the same tabs in the left-hand menu.
