About State Management

The diagram below shows the workflow of the State Management process as it applies to Inspection Recommendations.

Initial State

The Inspection in Progress state is the initial state of all Inspection Recommendations

Datasheet Configuration

By default, states and operations will appear on the datasheet when you are viewing an Inspection Recommendation or the Record Manager.

Reserved States and Operations

The following table indicates whether or not the baseline states and operations are reserved. You cannot remove or modify reserved states or operations. You can, however, add your own states and operations to the State Assignment
