About Case Triage
After you promote an Adverse Event Report to a Case, the Case first enters the Triage lifecycle state and creates a Triage task.
During case triage, you must review the Case and enter the seriousness criteria. The seriousness criteria determines whether the Case requires expedited reporting and the due date for reporting the Case to regulatory authorities.
