# Major incident workbench UI elements

The major incident workbench displays task summaries, communication plan progress, conferencing information, and cause and resolution reports.

The major incident workbench has the following UI elements: **Summary**, **Communicate**, **Collaborate**, and **Post Incident Report**.

**Note:** You need to activate the Notify plugin \(com.snc.notify\) for the **Collaborate** tab to appear. The **Post Incident Report** tab is visible only when the incident state is either Resolved or Closed.
