Introduction

Products are what we want to dress with Assets and being able to monitor progress per product is easy in ProStudio, it is used to visualise where the product is in the workflow- E.g. to show if a product is in preparation, in post production or approved.

The product status is dependant on the Work Order it exists in which means that the product can have multiple product statuses if it exists in several Work Orders.

Configure Product Status

Each Product can have different statuses depending on where they are in the workflow. To make this adjustable to your specific needs, these statuses are dynamically defined.

1. Go to the "Settings/Advanced"
2. Select "Product Status"
3. Click "Add new status"
4. Fill in the fields
5. Click "Save"

Filelds to till in

The configuration gives you some options to fill in and these are:

1. Name
2. State
3. Color
4. Default
5. Sort Order

Name is what you want to call the status, this is what will be shown in all the panels where the status is visible so names that are explanatory are recommended.

State: Each status will have a "State" connected to it. The different "State" options are fixed and cannot be changed. They are used to be able to monitor progress and measure efficiency. The various "States" are:

• To Do
• In Progress
• Waiting
• Blocked
• Completed
• Cancelled
• Archived

Color: You may define how many statuses you want, the color of each status and the sort order.

Default for new is the starting status for any newly created workflow, you can only define (1) status to be default for new. 

Sort order is used to define how the dropdown list should appear in the work order dashboard.
