• Name - This is the tracking status name that will display in STRATUS.

• Can operations - control what types of edits can be made to a part, assembly, or package.

  • Can Assemble - When the Can Assemble tracking status option is checked, it means that an assembly can be edited. For example, adding a part to an assembly is an edit operation. 

  • Can Package - When the Can Package tracking status option is checked, it means a package can be edited. For example, adding parts or assemblies to a package is an edit operation.  When unchecked, it means that the package is not editable. It also means that the package is ready for downstream workflows.
  • Can BOM - When the Can BOM tracking option is checked, it means that the Package > BOM > Generate BOM button will be enabled.
  • Can Cut List - When the Can Cut List tracking option is checked, it means that the Package > Cut List > Generate Cut List button will be enabled.

  • Applies to Assembly - When unchecked, the tracking status cannot be applied to an assembly.
  • Applies to Part - When unchecked, the tracking status cannot be applied to a part.
• Tracking Status Groups - A Tracking Status Group (Office, Purchasing, Shop, Field) is a non-editable category used to categorize Processors under Admin > Company Processors. A Processor is a name for a department, person or group who processes work packages and is specific to your company’s workflow (Ex. Pipe shop, Sheet Metal shop, Purchasing or Detailing, or the Jobsite). There are 2 options for each Tracking Status and Tracking Status Group intersection:
  • Check whether or not the Tracking Status is applicable to the Tracking Status Group.
  • The approximate percent complete of a package for the processor (the Tracking Status Group) when the package is in the Tracking Status. 

• Description - You can give a more in depth tracking status description here.

• Color - Assign a color for filtering using STRATUS viewer Display Modes
