Module Generator: Create and configure status

In this article, you'll learn how to create and configure new statuses for your module. Statuses define the different states that an element can go through – from creation to approval.

Overview: Default Statuses

Every new module configuration has two default statuses that you can rename but not delete:

• New – The starting point for newly created elements
• Deleted – The status for deleted elements

Configure a Status

Each status has two key settings:

1. Status Name

The name should describe a state or phase. Use adjectives or expressions like In Review, Ready for Approval, or Approved.

2. Edit Permissions for the Status

Define which users can edit the element in this status:

• Leave the field empty: Any user can edit the element
• Add specific users: Only these users can make changes
• Use roles or dynamic fields: You can restrict editing to roles, user selection fields from your form, Creator, or Last Editor

Practical Example

In the status Approval by Manager, you want only the responsible manager to edit the element. Enter the relevant users or role to ensure that only authorized people can make changes in this phase.

Reorder Your Statuses

You can change the order of your statuses anytime using drag and drop. This order doesn't affect the module's functionality – it's purely for organization in the configuration interface.
