- Back in **Your overview** or **Company overview**, you can see the **Status** of all cases and are able to filter in order to see **All Cases**, **Open**, **Closed** or **Archived**. [Find out more about the search and filter functions for cases](https://knowledge.exizent.com/locate-my-case?hsLang=en)

💡 The filter function helps you manage your workload. You can view all closed cases to check on progress or choose to see only open cases still to work on

⭐ If you are a **Company admin** you can close any case but for **Case owners**, you can only close cases that you have created 

💁 As a Company Admin, you can also use these handy views to check on your team's workload. [How do I know what my role or permission level is?](https://knowledge.exizent.com/how-can-i-view-colleagues-with-access-to-exizent?hsLang=en)
