Project statuses
A project groups related work — a drydock, an overhaul, a contractor engagement — so it can be tracked as one thing. Each project carries a status.
The four statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Planning | The project has been created and is being prepared |
| Active | Work is underway |
| Completed | The work is finished |
| Cancelled | The project was closed without being completed |
Moving a project along
You don’t type the status in. Three actions move a project. Find them by clicking the three vertical dots (⋮) at the start of the project’s row, or as icon buttons at the top of the project’s side panel:
| Action | Icon in the side panel | Moves the project to | Available from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Activate | Play (a right-pointing triangle) | Active | Planning |
| Close Project | Check mark in a circle | Completed | Active |
| Cancel Project | X in a circle | Cancelled | Planning or Active |
Completed and Cancelled are final — a project in either state has no further transitions.
What happens to the work inside
Both closing and cancelling do something to the work requests still attached to the project, and both tell you what before you confirm.
Nothing is deleted by either action. Every work request survives — what changes is which project it belongs to, and its status.
Close Project lists the unfinished work requests. All of them are detached from the project and go back to the general work-request list as unplanned work. Any you tick in that dialog are additionally set to Cancelled — they are detached and cancelled, not removed. The records stay, with their history.
Cancel Project shows what will be kept and what will not: completed work requests stay as they are, and the unfinished ones are detached back to the general list as unplanned. Their status is left alone. The dialog states the count, and cancelling the project cannot be undone.
Changing status needs permission to update projects.
Tracking the work inside a project
The project’s status describes the project as a whole. The individual work requests attached to it carry their own statuses — see Submitting a work request.
