Setting Up Activity Statuses

Use delivered activity statuses to identify the progression of an activity using activity due dates tracking.

You can review the delivered activity statuses on the Activity Status page:

  • Canceled

  • Completed

  • In progress

  • Incomplete

  • Not required

  • Pending

You can’t delete the system-delivered statuses, but you can modify the descriptions. You can also define additional activity statuses that are associated with either the In progress or Not required system status.

Adding Activity Statuses

Define any additional statuses that your agency will use for activity tracking on the Activity Status page.

  1. Select Common Setup > Transaction Status.

  2. Select the Activity Status tab.

  3. Click Add to define a new status.

  4. On the Activity Status Details page, enter values for these fields:

    Page Element

Modifying Activity Statuses

You can modify the activity statuses that you have defined on the Activity Status Details page, but you can only edit the Description field of system-defined statuses. The description is exposed to agency staff for an activity on the activity due dates tracking page.

    • Turn on the Enabled switch to enable a user-defined record status.

  5. For system-delivered statuses, you can only edit the description. You can’t edit the Status field or disable the status.
