Client File Status

The client file status allows you to stay informed about which processing stage a client file is currently at, from rolling forward to printing the client file.

The client file status can be manually or automatically assigned as a result of certain operations. For example, you can set the program to automatically update the client file status after printing the client file.

The client file status has no effect on the file’s operation and does not limit it. For example, a client file with the status "Printed" can be reprinted at any time.

The client file status can have a predefined valueClosed (a list of possible values is provided with the program.) or a customized value. Here is a table that shows the different predefined values:
