Status Type Filter

This page is accessed via Configuration and Administration > Power Data > General > Status Type Filters.

A status type filter lets you define which statuses appear as a default on a given business object. If you do not define a status filter, all possible statuses are automatically displayed. Some business objects may have many statuses associated with them, making the status list more difficult to read. You can create a status type filter to limit the statuses so that only ones that you want to see will be displayed for that business object. After you create the filter, you must associate the filter with a user and a domain by managing the user access.

Creating a New External Status Type Filter:

1. Enter a unique Filter ID for the new status type filter.
2. Select from one of the Object Types since all statuses are associated with a specific business object.
3. Select the Domain Name in which you want to store the status type filter.
4. Click Finished.

You can also edit status type filters and change the order in which statuses are displayed.

1. If you are editing an existing filter, you can use the arrow buttons to move a status from the Available column to the Selected column. The Selected column contains the statuses that will be displayed on the indicated object type. You can select multiple statuses by holding down the CTRL key when clicking on them.
2. You can sort those statuses by using the up and down arrow buttons to the right of the Selected column.
3. Click Finished.
