Create a Status Type

Home > EMResource > Guide - Status Types > Create a Status Type

Authorized users create and maintain status types. This includes indicating the format of the type, such as a date, number, or text. You can also set up a status type to provide multiple options from which the user can choose.

Note the following about status types:

The Type column in the settings table indicates the type(s) for which this attribute is appropriate.
The Trace User option appears in status type pages only when the related option is selected in the region's profile page.
If you grant an update right, you must also select the equivalent view right.
Calculated status types cannot be manually updated. Instead, calculated status types are automatically recalculated in real time when any of the component status types are updated.
Calculated status types do not expire or have reset settings.
