# Using the report status

There are three available statuses, and each VigiFlow organisation determines how to use them.

* **`Open`**: Active reports still being worked on.
* **`Under assessment`**: Reports undergoing some form of assessment or investigation.
* **`Closed`**: Reports that are finalised.

The default filtering in VigiFlow is to show only reports with the status: **`Open`**.

Report status is changed manually by users except for imported ICSRs.

* If the previous ICSR version had the status **`Closed`**, the follow-up will get the status **`Open`**.
* If the previous ICSR version had the status **`Open`** or **`Under assessment`**, the status of the follow-up will remain unchanged.
