Cases Workflow Status
When a case is created, it can be allocated a status, which is helpful for filtering. Furthermore, when a case is being worked, changing the status allows for the sub allocation of the record (for example to a money laundering officer for review). Statuses are separate from the closed status (i.e. Open, Closed etc).
A common example for case status use is to escalate cases through a hierarchy in an money laundering team, such as:
- Front Line Defence (FLD).
- Deputy Anti Money Laundering Compliance Officer (DAMLCO).
- Anti Money Laundering Compliance Officer (AMLCO).
