Work Order Status Valid Values

When delivered, the TabWare database includes a standard set of status codes for managing the work order backlog. Your system administrator can use this window to add special purpose codes and settings for routing information messages.

For a listing of status codes, refer to Working with Work Order Status Codes. None of the status codes listed in Working with Work Order Status Codes can be deleted from the database. However, using TabWare's translation feature, the system administrator can change code descriptions.

To the right of each status code and description is a row of checkboxes and dropdown lists. Click on the appropriate checkbox when you want one or more of those persons notified of a status change.
