# Case statuses

In the Case statuses card, you can tailor how case statuses appear and function to better align with your workflow:

* Create custom [case statuses](/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/case_status.md) to reflect your team's specific processes
* Remove unused statuses to keep the list clean and relevant. Only statuses that are not currently assigned to any case can be removed
* Rearrange the order of statuses by drag-and-drop to match your preferred case interpretation flow. The updated order is reflected in:
  * The Status field dropdown in the Cases table
  * The top bar of the individual case page

## Stale Days

Define the number of days that must pass without the case being finalized for it to be classified as "stale" and subsequently factored into the Stale Cases statistics on the Dashboard.

## 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://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/settings/management/test-statuses.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.
