Location Configurations ~ Statuses

Statuses indicate the current state of a Location.  An organization can have as many statuses as they need. 

*Note: Once a Status has been created or edited, you must log out and back into CMS to see the changes.

To create a new Status, click the Root Status icon.

The description is mandatory and can be of the organization’s choosing.  

Each status is automatically set as Visible, Searchable and Allow Edits options selected.

• Visible: Status is visible to be used when creating Location.

*If a status is no longer to be used, deselect the Visible option.  It is advised to leave Searchable selected in case there is a need to search by this status later.

• Searchable: Status is only visible to be used when Searching Locations
• Allow Edits: This allows Locations with this status to be changed. 

*If deselected, Status will appear but cannot be changed. 

Once a Root Status has been created it will appear in the list with a to edit and a to create hierarchy options connected to the “Parent” Status.  Multiple lower levels to the hierarchy can be created from a Root Status. 

For example, Construction and Demolished can be lower-level Statuses to Closed. 

To export the list of Statuses currently in your system, click the icon.
