A project status shows the stage of the project life-cycle. Possible project statuses are:
Active
The initial state of a project right after its creation.
Completed
Indicates that all the work on the project items has been completed and that the items are ready to be merged back into the As-Built. You cannot claim items in a project whose status has been set to Completed or Merged.
In a project, when searching for completed items in the Project Management window, it is possible to select the related items which have not been completed
yet and to change their status to Completed.
Merged
Indicates that all the project items have been merged back into the As-Built.
Canceled
Indicates that the project has been canceled and it can be deleted. Selecting this project status changes the status of the items in the project from Claimed to Scoped.
The status of an item in a project determines what you can do with the item, for example, editing the properties in the project. Possible item statuses in the project are:
Scoped
Indicates that the item becomes available for viewing in the project and that it can be claimed.
Claimed
Indicates scoped items that have been copied to the project and they are enabled for editing. There are two modes of claiming:
-
Exclusive — Items can only be edited in the current project and cannot be claimed for another project.
-
Shared — Items can be claimed for another project and edited in that project.
Completed
Indicates that the work on the item has been completed and the item is ready to be merged back into the As-Built.
Merged
Indicates that the item has been merged back into the As-Built.
The Project Management table displays the status of claimed items.
To view the status of a claimed item in a project while in the As-Built, right-click an item in the list view pane of the Electrical Index and then click Item Status in Projects. This command opens the Item Status in Projects dialog box, which shows the item status, claim mode, and project name for each project in which the selected item is claimed.
