Transaction Statuses can be used to track the state or condition of the transaction record.

They can be configured to be generic to all transaction types, whether a Personal Transaction or Company Transaction, or can be tied to a specific transaction type.

Creating Generic Status

1. Click the Transaction Types hyperlink on the Global Settings menu under the Company & Account Settings heading.

2. Click the Status tab above the list of Transaction Types.

6. Each status has the following settings:

  • Status ID - Internal unique system ID used when referencing the status.
  • Language - Language that the current Name value will apply against. Users can specify different translation options for the languages used when accessing the system.
  • Name - Name for the Status.
  • Caption - Default display name for the status.
  • Display Order - The order that statuses are displayed in the Status combo box.
  • Group Name - Used in conjunction with the Arcadia Settings to mask multiple individual statuses with a single overall status.
  • Description - Any comments or notes you wish to include. Note: These don't manifest anywhere except on this page.
  • Colour Code - The colour code used to indicate each status. This colour will be used in the list view and the details view. Click the colour palette button to display a colour picker.
  • Display Buttons - Controls which buttons are available to the user for a record at this status. (See Button Options below).
  • Template Page Submit Status - Controls the assigned status when submitted via a template page.
  • Lock On Status - This setting is used to lock the record so that it cannot be changed until it is unlocked.
  • Is Default Status - Determines the default status to be selected when the item is saved or submitted.
  • Is Default Copy Status (Level 2 & 3 only) - When the Copy button is used to create a copy of a Level 2 or Level 3 record, the new record will have the status that has this setting enabled. If no status is set as Is Copy Status, copied Level 2 or Level 3 records will have the same status as the original record.
  • Status Availability - Only available when configuring Level 2 Statuses. By default any statuses created for a Level 2 will be available to both Level 2 and Level 3 records, but can be restricted to either Level 2 or Level 3 using the Status Availability section. (See Status Availability below).
  • Allow to Set Roles - The specific roles that can set the status. If you do not set a role, then any user can set any status.
  • Override Lock Roles - The specific roles that can unlock a locked item. If you enable Lock on Status and do not set a role, then the item cannot be unlocked.
Note: Any Role with the UTA Manager Permission will be able to override the Lock on Status setting, even if not specified here.
  • Enabled on Level 1 Templates - The specific templates that the status is available against. You can also restrict which Statuses are available to each Level 1 Template by navigating into the template itself. See here for details.
