Managing abuse reports

Users in roles granted with appropriate permissions can manage abuse reports in the Abuse report application. The application allows viewing details of certain types of objects while editing related abuse reports. Managingabusereports-object_details 

You can use statuses to mark the reports – the system offers the New, Solved, and Rejected abuse report status. The statuses are just for convenient marking of reports. Changing a status does not influence the reported content.

Editing abuse reports

When you edit an abuse report, the following information is displayed:

Viewing object details

If you are editing an abuse report related to a blog comment, board message or forum post, the Show object details button is displayed.

Clicking the button opens a new window with details about the source of the report (the board message, blog comment or forum post). This functionality is ensured automatically by the web parts listed on the Integrating abuse reporting with other community features page. You can also achieve it in transformations of these object types by using the In-line abuse report web part. See Adding abuse reporting functionality to transformations for more details.
