Configuring Status

What is Change Record Status?

You can create, enable or disable the additional Status values for Change Management in addition to the standard Change Record Status values (see: Change Record Status) . These new statuses can be used in the Change Workflow and helps to identify the exact stage of the Change Request as per the customer's Change process.

Example: New status ‘Under Review’ and ‘Review Complete’ are added to identify the stage of the Change Request while undergoing review (‘Under Review’) and once review is completed the status changes to ‘Review Complete’.
