Overview

What are Statuses

Statuses allow a flexible way of tracking the high-level state of a given result. Statuses can be created/edited from the Admin>Statuses menu at the top of the page. To create/edit statuses your user must have admin permissions.

Statuses have three fields:

  • Name
  • Closed
  • Invalid

The Closed flag indicates that results in this status should be consirded closed. Results that have been moved into a closed status will be excluded from the results list by default.

The Invalid flag indicates the result was invalid--meaning it's not something you were looking for from the given search. For example, you may have a "False Positive" status. The invalid flag allows tracking which searches are producing high numbers of results that you're not actually interested in.

Creating Statuses

As an example, let's created 5 statuses we can use for tracking:

  • New
  • Investigating
  • Triaged
  • Acceptable
  • Closed

Navigate to the status page and let's create the statuses, below will contain the appropriate settings:

New

Set name to New, toggle the Default boolean

Investigating

Set name to Investigating

Triaged

Set name to Triaged

Acceptable

Set name to New, toggle the Invalid boolean

Closed

Set name to Closed, toggle the Closed boolean

Working with Statuses

Now that you have created some statuses, you can navigate to a result and click the Statuses to help you track your results and work with filters.
