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:
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.
Type
This is the type of form you are creating. If you decide you do not want to create this form you can click and choose a different form. The form will refresh into the form type you choose.

Due Date
For “open” statuses the Due Date will be visible. The due date is set by your administrator for the form type you are creating. Default is 7 days. You can update the date manually if required.

Private
If private addressing is set up by your project administrator you can tick this box to ensure only the users listed in Action and Info sections and yourself can view and respond to this form. It is not visible to any other user within any of the companies in the collaborators section.
