New case status

In order to change the status of a case, follow the steps:

1. Go to the general information tab of the case.
2. Select new status of the case from the “Status” dropdown menu. Depending on the current status of the case, you have some of the following possibilities:
   • draft
   • open
   • closed
   • merged
   • suspended
   • deleted (in reality, a case registered in the system is never deleted, but it is “marked” as such and only system administrators can access it. If necessary, the administrator of the system can restore the case on a later stage.)

   NB! By marking the case as “closed” makes the user unable to modify the data in it. Only the administrator is able to change the status of the case again, so that editing and additional modifications are done with regards to this particular case.
