Statuses

Statuses are used against your Project Contact's when you need to distinguish among them for some purpose. For example, we may wish to create a 'inactive' status so that we can list those who were part of a project but are no longer a part.

There is no limit to the number of StatusTypes may create but note that if you create too many, many of the input screens and reports will become awkward to use.

Fields Shown:-

Sort Order: A number representing the order in which you want the types displayed. This has no meaning to the system other than to determine the order of the types. Optional - status types will display in alphabetic order if left blank.

Description: Text describing your status type. This is shown on screen and in many reports. Required.

! You cannot delete a Status Type once it has been used on an Identity. However, if you find you will no longer be using a Status Type, you can give it a very high Sort Order and add 'do not use' to its description.
