Record statuses
The status of a record determines if:
- The record is a draft.
- The record is locked.
- Record participants receive an email when the status changes while the notification setting is on.
The permissions for a status determine which security roles can select that status and what the security roles can do in a record with that status.

When you create a record, the Draft status is selected automatically. Draft records are visible only to the user who created them, as well as to portfolio administrators, and can be saved with incomplete required fields.
The record changes from the Draft status if:
- You select a different status.
- You add an assignment or courtesy copy. Then the record changes immediately to the next status in the list.
- Some record types, such as daily reports, don't use the Draft status.
- Records can't be changed back to the Draft status.
- Draft records are available for linking and for reports.

A record is locked when it has a locked status. Anyone with the related permission can unlock the record to edit it.
When a record is locked, the linked files become read-only.

- In the record, on the navigation toolbar, select
(Locked).
The first unlocked, non-draft status is assigned to the record.

- Select a locked status.

Records can't be changed back to the Draft status.

- Open the record.
- In the Information panel, select an option from the status list.
