3.3.4 Displaying the work status of an Item

While you are creating or editing an Item, you can enter a comment in the Work status field of the Item form. A history of entered comments is displayed in the List of work status, which shows the progress of the work on the Item. This list is useful for the administrator when discussing or acknowledging the Item or for the person in charge when retracing the progress of the work on the Item.

The following figure shows the Work status display window.

If you click the button, all information other than Title displayed above the List of work status is hidden.

The comment entered in the Work status field is added to the List of work status each time the Item is updated. In this list, the newest comment is displayed at the top.

You cannot display the Work status display window for an Item that is waiting to be deleted.

If status names are customized, the names of the work statuses that were entered before customization will also be replaced by the new names.

Note that customized Item forms might have no Work status field. However, the Work status display window can be displayed for an Item whose form does not have the Work status field.

When using the Work status display window to check work progress, delete the existing content of the Work status field before entering your own information. This improves the readability of the work progress as a whole.
