Defining Status
Overview
Status expresses progress not as a numerical progress percentage, but as a meaningful string.
By expressing it with strings such as "Not Started," "Awaiting Review," and "Completed," progress management can be made simpler and easier to understand.
This section introduces the functionality related to defining statuses.
Common Procedure
To define a status, perform the following steps as a common prerequisite:
-
Click your login name in the TimeTracker RX global navigation.
-
Select "System Settings".
-
Click "Item Type" in the local navigation.
-
Select "Status" from the left menu.
