What is Status Management?
Status Management is a set of features that ensure the Status field of Project, Cases, and Tasks records are accurate. A meaningful status allows you to conveniently report on jobs and track them through a workflow.

Auto Open Case
When this option is enabled, a Not Started Case with any in progress Tasks can specify to set its own status to In Progress.
Since NetSuite doesn't have a Not Started Case Stage, you need to set this option to use one or more Not Started statuses. The opening status of the Case is defined by a Case Formula Text search column.
Auto Close Case
When this option is enabled, a Case with all completed Tasks can specify to set a closing status and move itself from a stage of Open, Reopenned, or Escalated to Closed. The Case End Date and Time fields are updated with the Completed End Date and Time fields of the last completed Task.
The closing status of the Case is defined by a Case Formula Text search column. This option is disabled by default.
Task Close Case
When this option is enabled, any completed Task can specify to set a closed status on its Case to move it from a stage of Open, Reopenned, or Escalated to Closed. The Case End Date and Time fields are updated with the Completed End Date and Time fields of the closing Task.
The closing status of the Case is defined by a Task Formula Text search column. By default, this closes the Case when you check the Close Case box on the Task record.
Update Status
Update Status box requests an update to the Status field of the current Case. This box is checked automatically when you create a dependent Task record or when you change the Status field.
When you submit a Case with this box checked, FSM runs the NextService Scheduled : Status Scheduled Script with script deployment id customdeploy_nx_status. After the Scheduled Script has finished processing and updated the Status successfully, the box is unchecked.
