Customized Status
You can define five customized return statuses in order to meet specific needs such as the creation of filters or diagnostics using the return status as condition or as displayed information in the Client Manager or in the diagnostics pane.
How to define the customized status
To define the customized return status, proceed as follows:
- On the Tools menu, click Options and Settings.
- Under Options, click Customized Status.
- Enter the value that you want to attribute for each customized return status.
- Click OK.
How to use customized statuses in a multi-user environment
If you are using Personal Taxprep in a multi-user environment in which client files can be opened by several preparers, we suggest that you attribute similar descriptions to the customized statuses in order to effectively use this functionality and, therefore, avoid certain problems.
If Mr. Brown, from his workstation, displays all the client files with a "Ready to file" return status in the Client Manager, the client files whose returnstatus corresponds to the value of the first customized status will display in the Client Manager, including the returns to which Mr. Smith attributed the "For approval" return status.
