Statuses

Statuses represent the condition of a form or task. Default statuses of complete, pending, scheduled, and canceled are applied to each module. New sub statuses can be created under Complete, Pending, and Canceled statuses to facilitate your business processes. You can also change or add background and text colors to statuses to customize your view.

You can apply statuses to a template, and when used as an option on the perform form, either through a button or form flow, it will show on the Events and Tasks pages.

The following table provides more information on the default statuses.

Status Notes when: Customizable Permissions Can Be Overdue Editable
Complete Form or Task is completed, and workflow is done. Yes It has permissions tied to it such as when completed form or task locks and cannot be reopened by certain roles. No Permission based
Pending Form or Task is started and is in this status until completed. Yes All roles have permission to this status. Yes x
Scheduled An Event or Task has been scheduled. No All roles have permission to this status. Yes x
Canceled An Event or Task was started but there is no intent to complete it. Yes All roles have permission to this status. No x

Differences between a state and a status

The state of a form or task is another indication of their condition that is different from a status. Unlinke statuses, states cannot be changed or customized. States are driven actions you take in forms or tasks. For example, they let you know that a work item is overdue regardless of its status in your workflow or process.

The following table provides more information about states:

State Notes when: Work item types
In Process Form or Task is pending. Forms and tasks.
Complete Form or Task is complete. Tasks only.
Overdue Form or task workflow or due date has passed. Forms and tasks.
Saved Task is not yet assigned. Tasks only.
Scheduled Form or task has been scheduled. Forms and tasks.
Canceled Form or task was started but there is no intent to complete it. Forms and tasks.

Considerations

  • You must have Level 3 – Account Admin permissions in InEight Platform or a Compliance or Completions role with the applicable permissions.

  • The standard statuses cannot be renamed or deleted.
