For further information, refer to Status of a Dialog Work Item.

Transition from status waiting

The transition from the status waiting to the status ready is performed automatically by the work item manager when the requested start is reached. A workflow system administrator can set a work item to the status ready manually.

Transition from status ready

From this status, the work item passes either to the status reserved or via the status in process to the status completed.

Transition from status reserved

A work item with the status reserved can be reset to the status ready.

Transition to and from status in process

A work item with the status in process can be reset to the status ready. A workflow system administrator can reset a work item manually. This function is available when changing the work item.

Transition from status executed

After confirmation of end of processing, the work item assumes the status completed.

Transition from status completed

Work items with the status completed can no longer be set to another status even if a workflow system administrator intervenes.

Transition from status error

A workflow system administrator can intervene and set work items with errors to the status in process or the status logically deleted (possibly after eliminating the error).

Transition from status logically deleted

Work items with the status logically deleted can no longer be set to another status even if a workflow system administrator intervenes.
