Changing an Item's Status

Items are assigned a status to show their current state in the decision-making process and to help track decisions that have been made. There are several ways to set or change the status of an Item.

Changing the Status of a Single Item

When an Item’s status is changed, the Total Cost Impact for that Item will move to the respective status in the Items chart on the Dashboard and in the Adds/Deducts by Status chart in the project sidebar. An Item status change will also adjust the Min/Max Available Range and be reflected as a colored dot in the Cost Trendline chart on the Dashboard.
