Creating a Model's Status Value and Text
Every model can be assigned a single numeric property known as a Status Value, which is paired with a more descriptive, translatable Status Text. These properties can be assigned matching, paired values from a pre-set list, collectively known as Status Elements. You can simultaneously change the status value and text of a model using the UpdateStatusAndText function.
Implementation:
- With the intended model open, switch to the Your Model tab.
- Click Status Values.
- If it is not already selected, click the Status Items tab.
- Click Add.
- (Optional) Enter a Name to help identify the model's status.
- Provide a unique Status Variable Name. This will be used when referencing the status value in expressions.
- (Optional) Enter a brief Status Text Description that describes the status value's purpose.
- Click OK.
- Repeat steps 4-8 to create your model's Status Text.
You must assign at least one Element to your model's status before it can be modified using the UpdateStatusAndText function.
