Creating Status Labels Using the List Maintenance Form

In this Topic: Show

Overview

The List Maintenance screen is used to add or delete list entries such as status event labels. You can use almost any text, e.g. Paid, Approved, Item Backordered, however, it is recommended to keep labels short (less than 50 characters). Do not use single ( ' ) and double ( " ) quotes.

For more information about the default system status event labels, refer to the Knowledge Base topic,  Status Events.

Adding Status Labels

  1. At the Main Menu, click the [Maintenance Menu] icon > Maintenance tab> [List Maintenance] link, to open the List Maintenance screen.

  2. Click on the entry called Status in the Select List box on the left-hand side of the screen.
