Changing case status

There are a number of features designed to help you view, edit or monitor changes made to the status of a case in the New IB. The New IB case status can be found in the case header, and in the case info drop down in the header.

Updating the case status is not mandatory, but can aid with analysis. For example, the first analyst could change the status to Awaiting secondary review so that it is clear to the second analyst that the case requires their review.

A case can have the following case statuses:

New IB case Status Description
Ready for analysis Case has been processed and is ready to be analysed
In progress Case is currently being analysed
Awaiting second review Case is analysed and awaiting second review
Closed Case is closed

For details on how the New IB case status maps to the IP case status, please visit the IP integration page.

To edit the case status:

  1. Click the case info drop down menu and select Update case status
  2. Select the preferred New IB case status and click Update status
  3. The status will now update in the header

N.B. it is not possible to close the case using the case status overlay - please see the case closure page for information on how to close a case.

Reopening a case

Cases can be reopened by following the same above steps as used to update the case status, by selecting any case status that is not Closed.
