To manage status aliases, select Manage Status Aliases from the Admin Controls menu. The Status Aliases window provides the administrator with the opportunity to define status aliases that are available to all users. A status alias provides you with the ability to define custom statuses that can show up in the status field of the table. When the alias is created, any user can access it from the controls on the Control Panel Toolbar, right-clicking on the status table, from the Action menu, or by right-clicking the system tray icon.
| o | Click on the Add New Status Alias button on the toolbar to bring up an add window. Just complete the provided fields and click on the Add Status Alias button. There is no limit to how many status aliases can be created. |
| o | Double-click on the alias in the table to bring it up in an edit window. Make any applicable changes and click on the Save and Close button in the menu or toolbar. |
| o | Select the alias you wish to delete and click the Delete button in the toolbar. |
When adding or editing a status alias, the following fields are available:
| o | Enter the name of the alias. The name is what will show up in the alias lists. The name of the alias must be unique from any other alias or built-in status. |
| o | Select the built-in status you want the alias associated with. Although the name of the alias will appear in the status field of the table, the system will treat the alias as if it was the built-in status that it is associated with. This association allows for color-coding and other built-in features to understand how to handle a status alias. |
