Report Status Codes Explained

Report Status Codes can be found under the “STATUS” column within the report management table. 

 The order is placed from the self-registration page, but the candidate has not yet acted on the Consent email (e.g., Consent or Reject).

 The candidate has clicked the Consent button and has started to consent to individual platforms to be included in the scope of the check. 

Note, the end user has yet to submit the consent form. The status remains Consented until the extraction process begins when the “In Progress” status will be displayed. 

 The consent response has been received and the core system has initiated report processing. This status applies during the following sub-processes: 

  • Extraction 
  • Analysis 
  • Report Generation.

 The report has been successfully generated.

An error occurred during extraction, analysis, or report generation. 

Pending consent submission for older portal reports.

 The candidate rejected the request via the Consent email.

API Status Codes Explained

API Status Codes can be found under the “API” column within the report management table. 

The API status codes relate to stages that need to be completed by the SMC participant in order for the SMC solution to receive the necessary consent and social media platform information in order to process the request. 

Once a 10005 status is received, the SMC system will access the end users social media accounts, extract the post data, analyse this and publish the SMC outputs (Interactive Report, PDF Report and Certificate).
