manual review

Manual review is the status of an item that requires examination by a person instead of being processed entirely automatically.

In plain English

A person needs to examine the item directly. This status means the item is not being handled entirely by automatic processing alone.

In context

Here, manual review indicates that the case is being handled in a person-led examination step rather than only by automated processing.

Situation
Reading processing, queue, validation, success, warning, and error messages
What it communicates
indicates that the case is being handled through a person-led review step

Meaning limits

By itself, this status does not say why the person-led examination is needed or what the outcome will be.

Examples

“The application is in manual review, so a person must examine it instead of the system processing it entirely on its own.”

Core meaning

“Once a case enters manual review, it is examined directly by a staff member rather than only by automated processing.”
