Processing Status

Use

The editing status indicates the stage that editing has reached and is determined when the document is saved. To save the active version of a document, a special authorization is required.

A documentation object or element can have the following editing statuses:

• Object without documentation

  As yet no documentation has been written for this object.

• Object not to be documented

  The object does not require any documentation for one of the following three reasons:

  • the object does not appear on a screen

  • the short text describes the object adequately

    This refers only to the definition. Information applying to specific screens, such as the procedure, can be stored in data element supplements.

  • Object does not currently require documentation

    The object is, for example, in a test phase or is being used temporarily.

• Document in raw version

  The document is being revised. Raw documents cannot be transported.

• Document is active

  Editing has been completed and the document has been saved as active version. Thereby, the version is finalized and released for transport and translation.
