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