Statuses
When the Edit button beside the Statuses list is clicked a list of Statuses is displayed.
Clicking on will edit and clicking on the + button will create a new Status.
- Status Id - the Status Id is how this status is referred to. For example, you can use a rule to reference the work queue using the dynamic data model.
- Label - the label is shown to users to display the current status
- Change To Label - this label is shown when giving users the choice to move a work queue item to this status.
- Description - A description of the status
- Step Number - Typically, a work queue item moves through a series of steps. This number defines that order which in turn, determines the order that statuses are presented to users.
- Auto Close - Turning on Auto Close and entering a duration causes items to be automatically dropped from the work queue item list after the specified period of inactivity. For example, if 1 is entered in the Days field for the "closed" status, then closed work queue items will appear for one day after the last activity allowing it to be reopened or appear in search.
Locking a work queue item is considered an activity so simply clicking a work queue item will reset the clock.
