Status Fields of Field Values for Effective Dating

If administrators enable the Status field for an effective dating field, then the Status field appears in the Effective Date dialog box for the field. If the Status field is enabled, then the Status field is automatically populated with a value of Pending for a changed value in an effective dating field. Only agents with the proper authority can change the Status field value to Approved. For more information about changing the Status field value, see Verifying Changes to Effective Dating Fields.

Only the active field value in the Effective Date dialog box appears in the effective dating field. If the Status field is enabled for the effective dating field, then the active field value has a Status field value of Approved and an effective date range that includes the current date. If the Status is disabled for an effective dating field, then the active field value has an effective date range that includes the current date.
