Assignment status

The assignment status — property Assign-.pyAssignmentStatus — can record a user's judgment about an assignment on their worklist.

Don't confuse assignment status with work item status, a different property.

The following assignment values are often used:

• blank
• Next — Signals to the user, manager, or others the intent or guidance that this assignment is expected to be processed next
• Soon — Signals to the user, manager, or others the intent or guidance that this assignment is expected to be processed soon
• Current — Signals that this assignment is being worked on

The standard control rule named PickAssignmentStatus lets a user select one of these values. In most applications, the assignment status is used for informal communication between worker users and their supervisors, and this value is not the basis of management reports or automatic processing.

The standard control rule named AssignmentStatus, associated with the standard property Assign-.pyAssignmentStatus, supports localization of values on display and also causes the Where-Am-I? golden arrow () to appear on the worklist. To turn off this feature, override the standard property and choose Default or another value for the control rule.
