How to Change a Status Visibility#

5.5

This topic provides step-by-step instructions for changing a status visibility for cases and alerts in TheHive.

This is useful if you want to hide TheHive’s predefined statuses, so users only use the custom statuses you have created.

No impact on API

Changing the visibility of a status doesn't affect the API. All statuses remain available through the API.

Task statuses

This page doesn't cover task statuses, which are hard-coded in TheHive. They can't be modified, deleted, or extended.

Required permissions

Only users with an admin-type profile that has the managePlatform permission can manage case and alert statuses in TheHive.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Entities management view from the sidebar menu.

    Entities management

  2. Select the Case status tab or the Alert status tab.

    Pages tab

  3. Select next to the status you want to edit.

  4. Select Edit.

  5. In the Add a custom status drawer, enter the new visibility you want to apply.

    Specifies whether you want to display or hide a status in TheHive interface.

    Hiding impact on existing cases and alerts

    If you hide a status that is already applied to existing cases or alerts, it remains applied until manually changed. It is no longer available for selection in the interface. This doesn't apply to the Imported status, which is automatically assigned to alerts when they are merged into a case.

  6. Select Confirm custom status creation.
