Field	Description
DCF Number	The unique identifier assigned by the system to the DCF record.
Status	The DCF's current state in the review process. Click F9 for a list of values. The system assigns a status of CREATED to new DCFs. The default statuses are: Created, Draft, Final, Sent, Received, Reviewed, Closed. You can set the status in the Maintain DCFs window and when you print the DCF Report. After the DCF Report has been sent, the system also sets the DCF status based on the status of its DCF Pages. DCFs also have a Print Status, which is different. See Tracking DCF Pages, Changing the DCF Status from the Maintain DCFs Window and DCF Print Status. You can change statuses and make them optional in the Installation reference codelists DCF STATUS CODES and DCF OPTIONAL STATUS CODES.
