When the Publication Space was first released, statuses for Transmittals and Distributions were limited to the default selections that came with the system.
With this release you can now add your own statuses and configure whether they are an Open or Closed status. You can set either of these options to be the default that appears for document distribution. If the status is set to open, users are also provided with the option to set a due date.
