Steps to add an Incident

1. Title – Enter a short, clear summary (Example: “Checkout API latency”).

2. Affected Service – Pick the custom service that’s impacted.

3. Severity – Select Minor (partial disruption) or Major (widespread/critical).

4. Updates panel:

   • Choose the initial Resolution Stage (defaults to Investigating).
