Objective

To add a witness statement to an incident using an Android mobile device.

Required User Permissions:
- To add a witness statement: 'Standard' level permissions or higher on the project’s Incidents tool.
- To add a contact in the 'Witness Name' field (see What is a 'contact' in Procore and which project tools support the concept?):
  - 'Standard' level permissions or higher on the project's Incidents tool.
  - 'Read Only' or 'Standard' level permissions on the project's Directory tool with the 'Create Contacts' granular permission enabled on your permission template.
    Notes:
    - Users who have been granted the 'Create Contacts' granular permission can:
      - Add a new contact when the person does NOT already exist in the Company or Project Directory.
      - View existing contacts as a drop-down selection for all projects in the company's Procore account.
