Add Status¶

Opens the New Status modal.

Status Links¶

Opens the Edit Status modal for that particular status.

Delete Status¶

Any custom status can be deleted by clicking the trash icon.

Statuses¶

All statuses populate an orderable multi-select. Open and Closed statuses are required.

Name¶

This is the name for the status. It is what will be displayed when creating a new channel entry. This is a required field and it may contain spaces or punctuation.

Highlight color¶

This optional field allows you to specify a highlight color for this status. This is the color of the status name in the Entry Manager main table. Entries assigned to this status will have their status name in this color. That way you can easily make a specific status stand out in that table.

This field will take standard CSS color values as input. That means you can use color keywords such as red, aqua, and navy; or you could define a specific RGB value in a standard method such as #f00 or #ff0000.

Status access¶

If any of your Member Groups (besides the Super Admin group) have access to the Control Panel you will see a table that allows you to specify whether or not each group can access a particular status. If a Member Group can access the status then it will appear as an option in the Publish page for users of that Member Group.

This feature can be used to establish a workflow for multiple Member Groups. One group might submit entries that are placed in a “closed” or “draft” type status while another group can review the entry and assign it to be “open”.
