      Status

      Info

      Being able to choose a status is based on permissions. Dependent on your project set up the status options may vary to that in this example.

      • Draft - Only visible to the person who created the form. Drafts will have the default due date applied.  When a draft is edited after the due date has passed,

      ...

      • RIB CX will now automatically update the due date based on the form's default due date configuration. For example:

      Example

        • Create and save a form as a draft on 1st of August - due date will be set to 8th of August (the Default due date is 7 days in configuration).

        • Edit the Draft on 10th of August (i.e. after the due date has passed) - the system will automatically update the due date to 17th of August (10+7 days).

        • If you click the issue button on the 10th the due date will automatically be updated to 17th.

      • Open - Used for the active part of a workflow. Any form in an open status is tracked by the system and will appear in the Hotlist of the action person.

      • Closed - Used for the Workflow end. When a form moved to closed status it will be removed from the action person's Hotlist.

      • Cancelled - Used to remove a Draft Form.
