Editing a Request Status

Note: This feature requires the Material Request & Approval module licensed at your site.

Edit a request status to correct or update its name, status group, and/or comments. Any changes to its name or status group are automatically reflected by all existing requests of this status. Because of this, be especially careful when changing a status's status group; for requests of this status, a changed status group can cause an illogical jump between two stages of the submission/evaluation process (for example: from a Rejected status to a New Request status).

You can only edit request statuses that were created at your site.

To edit a request status:

Starting at the administrative Request Statuses page (How do I get there?), do the following:

1.      In the Action column, click the edit () icon next to the request status you want to edit. (This icon appears only next to statuses created at your site.)

The status's properties are shown in fields.

2.      Enter the desired changes to the Status Name, Status Group, and/or Comments. (Use caution when changing the status group; see warning above.)

3.      Click Save.

Your changes to the request status are saved. Any changes to its name or request status are automatically reflected by all existing requests of this status.
