The selectable Status values in this table are system-provided values. The values that can actually be selected might be different if the Item form has been customized. For details, see 3.15 Status management.

To set a member who belongs to a role, make sure that the hptl_jp1_imss_assigned_selection_checkbox entry in the System property file (hptl_jp1_imss_main_setting.properties) is set to display. If this setting is specified, Select role member check box is displayed on the right of the label Person in charge. If you select this check box, you can select the name of a member who belongs to the role. In this case, however, you cannot select a role name.

For details about the System property file (hptl_jp1_imss_main_setting.properties), see System property file (hptl_jp1_imss_main_setting.properties) in Chapter 13. Definition Files.

The display elements listed in the above table can be customized. For details about customizing display elements, see 3.14 Item form management.
