Working with Statuses

A status profile contains individual user statuses and rules defined for those statuses. These statuses can be used to determine a sequence of different steps that are involved in processing an object in various business processes. The statuses can be used in multiple status profiles for different business processes. To make it easier for your business users to work with these statuses, you can add descrptions for them in various languages as needed. Your business users can see these values that you have configured for the status description in the Manage Statuses app.
