Can I filter cases by abuse category?

iQ Abuse Manager includes powerful filtering and sorting functionality

Last updated on 17 Apr, 2026

Yes. iQ Abuse Manager provides three ways to filter or group cases by abuse category: using the Case Distribution view, grouping the Cases table by category column, or querying your full case history using the Database Filters panel.

Method 1 - Case Distribution view

The Discover view gives you a visual threat map to quickly identify which categories have the most active cases.

  1. Go to Cases in the main navigation.

  2. Click Discover in the toolbar at the top of the page.

  3. A TLD or registrar map appears, showing which TLDs or registrars have the highest threat incidents.

  4. Click a TLD or registrar to see a breakdown by threat category.

  5. Click a threat category to filter the Cases table to that category.

For an interactive walk-through, click the blue flashing circles below.

 

Method 2 - Group the Cases table by category

You can drag the Category column header into the grouping area above the table to group all visible cases by their abuse category.

For an interactive walk-through, click the blue flashing circles below.

 

Bonus tip!

You can leverage this power further by combining the filters and “Custom Table Preset” functionalities.
This lets you save that view as a table with the customised results.

Once you have filtered by the relevant category 
Click the "Configure Table Settings" icon
Click "New", type in your preset name e.g. "Phishing Cases",  and click "Save"

This way, preserving those important views for future use and reducing manual work!

For an interactive walk-through, click the blue flashing circles below.

 Method 3 - Database Filters panel

The Database Filters panel queries your complete case history, including closed and previously actioned cases not visible in the default table view. Use this method when you need to search across all cases, not just the rows currently loaded in the table.

  1. Go to Cases in the main navigation.

  2. Click Filters in the toolbar at the top of the page.

  1. Click Apply.

The Cases table reloads and shows only cases that have at least one report categorised under your selected category.

Available categories

Abuse, Adult Content, Botnet, Compromised, CSAM, Generated Domains, Gambling, Hacked, Identity Fraud, Malware, NIS2 High Risk, Non-photographic CSAM, Photographic CSAM, Pharming, Phishing, Policy Breach, Pre Crime, Risk Alert, Scam, Spam, Suspicious, Infringement, Uncategorised.

Clearing the category filter

To remove the filter, open the Database Filters panel, clear the category selection, and click Apply again. You can also click Reset in the Cases toolbar to clear all active filters at once.
