A day-to-day status represents the resource's current operation level or limitations. Some facilities also refer to this as their facility status. Your administration can specify that certain statuses must be updated on a regular or predefined basis.

Authorized users can update statuses as information changes or when the system prompts them to do so (based on your local policy). The user can update a single status or more than one at a time. How the user updates the information depends on the type of resource and the kind of data being requested.

Note: If you make changes to a resource's or sub-resource's statuses and attempt to move to another page, the system prompts you to save your changes.

Users authorized to update a resource can also update the statuses for its sub-resources. In general, these are available via the parent resource's detail view. In addition, a view may be configured to include primary sub-resources. If so, you can update that sub-resource's statuses from the view.

For additional details such as status reporting, overdue statuses, data types, and authentication, refer to About Resource Statuses.
