Status Groups

This page is accessed via:

• Business Process Automation > Power Data > Status > Status Groups
• Master Data > Power Data > Status Codes > Status Groups

Status Groups link status codes and reason codes. Based on how your status codes and reason codes are set up, what you link to the status group on this page dictates what statuses and reasons are available to users when they record reasons and define quick codes.

It is important to remember, that:

• Status codes are assigned to status code profiles.
• Reason codes, through reason code profiles and reason groups, are assigned to reason group profiles.
