How Do I Collaborate With My Team?

Compliance investigations are rarely a solo effort. Zenoo provides built-in collaboration tools so you can involve colleagues, get approvals, and maintain a clear discussion record — all within the case and alert interfaces.

What you’ll learn

  • How to add reviewers to cases and alerts
  • How to use threaded comments and @mentions
  • How emoji reactions work
  • How the approval workflow operates
  • How real-time notifications keep everyone in sync

How do I add a reviewer?

1

Open the case or alert

Navigate to the case or alert you want to add a reviewer to.
2

Click Add Reviewer

In the reviewers section (visible on the case or alert detail panel), click Add Reviewer.
3

Select a colleague

Choose from a list of available team members. The list shows:
  • Name and title — to help you find the right person
  • Current workload — how many open cases/alerts they have
  • Only users who are not already reviewers on this record appear
4

Assign a role

Choose the reviewer’s role:
  • Reviewer — asked to review and provide feedback
  • Approver — asked to provide formal approval (required for case closure in some configurations)
5

Add a message (optional)

Write a brief message explaining what you need from them. This message appears in their notification.
6

Confirm

Click Add. The reviewer receives a notification and the record appears in the reviewers panel with status “Invited.”
Reviewer statuses:
StatusMeaning
InvitedReviewer has been added but has not responded
ReviewingReviewer has acknowledged and is actively reviewing
ApprovedReviewer has approved (for Approver role)
RejectedReviewer has declined approval with feedback
RemovedReviewer has been removed from the record

How do I use comments?

The discussion panel appears on every case, alert, and required check. It supports threaded conversations, @mentions, and emoji reactions.
1

Open the discussion panel

Scroll to the Discussion section on any case, alert, or check detail view.
2

Write a comment

Type your message in the text box. You can write different comment types:
  • Comment — general discussion
  • Question — flag something you need clarified
  • Note — record an observation for the file
  • Decision — document a formal decision with rationale
3

@mention a colleague

Type @ followed by the person’s name. An autocomplete dropdown shows matching users. Select a name to mention them.
@mentioned users receive a push notification and an in-app notification. They can click the notification to jump directly to the comment.
4

Reply to a thread

Click Reply under any existing comment to start a threaded conversation. Replies are nested under the parent comment and keep related discussion organized.The parent comment author receives a notification when someone replies to their thread.
5

React with emoji

Hover over any comment to see the reaction button. Click it to add an emoji reaction. Use reactions for quick acknowledgments without cluttering the thread.

How does the approval workflow work?

For cases and alerts that require formal approval:
  1. Add one or more reviewers with the Approver role
  2. Each approver reviews the case/alert and either Approves or Rejects
  3. When all approvers have approved, the system flags the record as having all required approvals
  4. If any approver rejects, they add feedback explaining what needs to change
You can check whether all approvals are in place before closing a case. The case detail view shows an “Approvals” section with each approver’s status.

How do notifications work?

Zenoo sends real-time notifications for collaboration events:
EventWho is notifiedHow
Added as a reviewerThe new reviewerPush notification + in-app
@mentioned in a commentThe mentioned userPush notification + in-app
Reply to your commentThe parent comment authorPush notification + in-app
Reviewer status changedThe case/alert ownerIn-app
Notifications link directly to the relevant case, alert, or comment — so recipients can jump into context immediately.

What about system comments?

The system automatically generates comments for significant events:
  • Status changes (e.g., “Case moved to Internal Review”)
  • Auto-triage results (e.g., “AI research completed: 92% false positive probability”)
  • Escalation events (e.g., “Case escalated to Jane Smith: SLA breach”)
System comments appear in the timeline with a distinct style so you can distinguish them from human comments.
