Job statuses
What each job status means and which actions are available in it.
Every job sits in exactly one status. The status controls what you can do next and how the work flows to the floor.
The statuses
| Status | Meaning | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | Created but not yet released. No work orders exist yet. | Release, or cancel. |
| Released | Released to the floor; work orders and component reservations created. | Start, hold, or cancel. |
| In progress | Work has begun. | Complete, hold, or cancel. |
| On hold | Paused. | Resume (returns to released or in progress), or cancel. |
| Completed | All work orders are done. | Close. |
| Closed | Finalized. Read-only. | None. |
| Cancelled | Withdrawn before completion. | None. |
How they connect
The following diagram shows how a job moves between statuses:
- A job must be released before any of its work can start; releasing is what creates the work orders.
- Hold and Resume pause and continue without losing progress: resume returns the job to in progress if it had already started, otherwise to released.
- Close is the final step and makes the job read-only as a permanent record.
Editing rules
- A job's plan (item, quantity, due date) is editable while Pending. Once released, the work orders carry the detail.
- Cancellation is available in any state up to (but not including) Closed.
