Statuses

<translate> Assets within Enterprise and Elvis do not actually move around. Statuses allow users to mark a file's progress through the workflow without physically moving the file.

Statuses are specific to object types. Some statuses trigger actions or suggest an automatic routing.

Article

• Article Draft: This article is being written.
  • Next status: Article Edit
• Article Edit: Someone else from the team is editing the draft.
  • Next status: none
• Article Approved: Editorial has approved the article for publishing. Permanent Version created.
  • Next status: Article Ready for Art
• Article Ready for Art: Story is complete and dossier contains all art for the layout. Alerts art team that a story is ready to be laid out.
• Article Laid Out: Art has processed this article, but editors will continue to access it for editing.
• Article Ready for Publishing: This is a web status that you can ignore for now.

Note that at a certain point, Articles become Layouts and continue moving through the workflow using Layout statuses.

Dossier

Editorial will not use dossier statuses beyond “Active," with one exception: Plate is using dossier statuses to note which stories have been sent to Art.

Anything marked “PDF Collection” will be automatically routed to the marketing and production team; note that this status is only used by an automated part of our production process and should not be manually selected.

(NOTE: Once an issue is out the door, production should manually move the dossier to the next status, which is “Inactive.” This will remove the PDF dossier from the inboxes of all team members.)
