Managing status values

Overview

Blueprint allows project administrators with the correct privileges to add additional discussion status values and approval status values. Custom status values offer flexibility in the way you manage comments and approvals.

Example

Noah, a business analyst, sometimes finds it challenging to get stakeholders to sign off on artifacts. Some of his reviewers do not feel comfortable approving the artifacts until after a few specific changes are made.

In order to simplify the sign off process, Noah creates a new approval status value called Approved with Conditions. Now, reviewers can simply add a comment to the artifact to describe the conditions, and then set the approval status to Approved with Conditions.

Status values are defined and managed using the Status Values tab in the Project Administration Console. The Status Values tab looks like this:
