# Create custom case statuses and resolution reasons

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

Before you create a custom status, please review the built-in options. For more information, see [Resolution reasons for cases and issues](/cortex-agentix/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/investigation-and-response/analyze-and-resolve-cases/resolve-the-case.md#UUID-111ce842-d4b5-ea1e-e6dd-a2079a2e1b4c).

We recommend using the built-in statuses and resolution reasons where possible. Custom statuses and resolution reasons might not be supported by all content, and status syncing can take time.

In addition, custom statuses affect Cortex AgentiX’s ability to learn, correctly identify, and score future cases.
{% endhint %}

You can create custom cases statuses and custom resolution reasons that are tailored to your workflow. Custom case statuses and resolution reasons apply to case and issue statuses, and can also be used in playbooks.

Adding custom, case statuses, and resolution reasons requires a **View/Edit** RBAC permission for **Case Properties** (under **Configurations** → **Object Setup**).

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

After creation, custom statuses and resolution reasons cannot be deleted or modified.
{% endhint %}

How to create custom case statuses

1. Go to **Configurations** → **Object Setup** → **Cases** → **Properties**.

   The existing statuses and resolution types are listed.
2. In the **Add another status** field, type a new status and click **Save**.
3. Click **Edit** to rearrange the order of the statuses. This order is presented when you set a status or select a resolution type.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/configure-cortex-agentix/cases-and-issues-configuration/customize-your-cases/create-custom-case-statuses-and-resolution-reasons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
