  4. Reorder statuses or swap statuses between Intake and Triage & Coordination section by selecting the status move icon, click_and_drag_hamburger.png, and dragging it into the desired section.

    Remember that statuses in the Intake section do not by default activate module logic. To configure an Intake status to activate module logic, update the Run Settings in the relevant trigger to enable Run also on Intake items.

Customize a Status

Customizing an existing status shares many of the same steps as configuring a new status:

  1. Select the color picker to choose a color for the status and select the status label to rename the status.

  2. Reorder statuses or swap statuses between Intake and Triage & Coordination section by selecting the status move icon, click_and_drag_hamburger.png, and dragging it into the desired section.

    Remember that statuses in the Intake section do not by default activate module logic. To configure an Intake status to activate module logic, update the Run Settings in the relevant trigger to enable Run also on Intake items.

  3. For Triage & Coordination statuses, you can configure the status state. These states determine how Tonkean handles items with that particular status:

    • Active - The item is actively monitored and currently being processed.

    • Warning - The item is actively monitored and currently being processed, but is at risk.

    • On hold - The item is actively monitored but is not being processed.

    • Done - The item has finished being processed. Items with statuses of type "Done" are archived after a predetermined period.

      For more information about item archival, see Set Automatic Item Archival.
