Workflow values are used to identify the current status of a record.
Workflow statuses are not enabled against every record of the system, and you will see them most frequently against absence, appointment, or career records.
The system assigns a workflow status against a record so that it knows how to treat it.
For example, different workflow statuses on absence records tell the system how to treat it (e.g., Is the absence authorised? Is it deleted? Should it count towards the bradford factor/holiday statistics?).
Workflow statuses
Status Code | Description |
2 | Pending Update (the record is in the middle of being updated) |
1 | Live Record (the record is complete and is live on the system) |
0 | Pending Authorisation (the record is awaiting approval or completion) |
-1 | Declined (the record has been declined, usually seen for absences) |
-2 | Cancelled (the record has been cancelled) |
-3 | Soft Deleted (the record has been deleted, but not removed entirely) |
