On the administration website visit the NFIRS menu item, and NFIRS sub-menu item to view where things stand on NFIRS incidents. Incidents are grouped by month (the quarter of the year) and then separated into their state/stage in the workflow. This overview shows the number of incidents in each stage: "To Process", "NFIRS Ready", "NFIRS Excluded" and "NFIRS Exported".
