Configuring record statuses

Statuses identify the state of records as they progress through remediation. You can configure the names and orders of statuses to suit your remediation process, and the statuses are used in all Collections.

Default statuses

You start with a set of default statuses that can be re-ordered or renamed. Statuses are grouped as either Open or Closed to help group records by state:

Status	Suggested usage	Group
New	Records that have been imported to Results are automatically assigned this initial status.	Open
Open	Records assigned to this status require additional follow up or investigation.
Under Review	Records assigned to this status have been assigned to the appropriate owner and are awaiting response.
Closed	Records assigned to this status have been assigned, followed up, and concluded upon.	Closed By default, records that have a status grouped as Closed are not displayed in tables. you can change the filter on the table from All Open Records to All Records.
False Positive	Records assigned to this status were previously flagged based on test results and have been ruled out for further inquiry.
