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:

1. With the intended model open, switch to the Your Model tab.
2. Click Status Values.
3. If it is not already selected, click the Status Items tab.
4. Click Add.
5. (Optional) Enter a Name to help identify the model's status.
6. Provide a unique Status Variable Name. This will be used when referencing the status value in expressions.
7. (Optional) Enter a brief Status Text Description that describes the status value's purpose.
8. Click OK.
9. Repeat steps 4-8 to create your model's Status Text.
