Custom States in Torq: Customize Investigation Stages

Learn how to create custom states to tailor the investigation stages to your organization's needs.

Updated this week

Torq's custom states enhance your investigation process by allowing you to tailor stages to fit your organization's processes. Add new states and adjust the default ones, ensuring a precise match with your unique procedures.

Explore the Versatility of Custom States

These are examples of states you can add to better reflect the investigation stage:

  • Pending Response: As a sub-state of the default On Hold to signify awaiting third-party feedback.

  • Resolved Requires Review: Under Resolved, indicating a case requires a final review. Moving a case to this custom state will halt the Resolution SLA and require resolution notes.

Adding a Custom State

Custom states must be created within one of the following state groups: New, In Progress, On Hold, Resolved, or Closed. The selected group indicates the purpose of the custom state and applies any associated characteristics. For example, states in the Resolved or Closed groups will halt the SLA.

To create a custom state:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Cases.

  2. In the States section, click Add.

  3. Enter a name for the custom state and choose a state group: New, In Progress, On Hold, Resolved, or Closed.

You can edit or delete custom states in Settings > Cases (read more).

Ensuring Visibility

Ensure the new custom state is chosen in the State filter.
