Status and Status Associations processing (option 6 from the Main Function Menu) allows you to view and maintain status definitions in the CCDB, and to browse and maintain the status settings for one or more entities. The status for an entity can be defined either within the context of a particular CCID, or stand-alone (outside of the context of a CCID). A stand-alone status is known as the "base status" for the entity.

To request this facility, fill in an option value of 6 and press ENTER from the Main Function Menu.

CA Endevor/DB returns the Status Functions screen. Remember that the screen displayed for any given user may differ from that shown here, depending on whether menu items have been masked from use.

The options available from the Status Functions screen are described below the screen. For each option, the description includes its use and instructions to process.
