incident logging and incident categorization

[WNejla]

My question is about the two activities of incident management process: "incident logging" and "incident categorization".
In the activity of incident logging,we should store informations such as date,time,impact,urgency,incident categorization...
So my question is what should i do in the activity of "incident categorization" if i have already assigned a category to the incident in "incident logging"?
I hope that my question was clear

thanks

They are not serial steps. An incident can have several categories to do with how it is described, what infrastructure it affects, what services it affects, who should deal with it, etc. etc. I can have different opening and closing categories, reflecting the difference between perception and reality.
