The list of Statuses can be used for anything you need it for. Note, however:

−
* An organisation/person can only have one Status at a time.
 
−
* A record is kept of when Statuses were changed for orgs/people, and which user made the change, so this can be very useful for historical reporting.

==Reporting outputs==

Information entered using the Status drop-down list is available:
 
−
 
 
−
* On the [[Status Report]] (this is the report which shows status changes with dates and the user that made the change)
 
−
* In the KPI Report Designer as a filter (e.g. the Number of Clients Accessing Service By Status report. Note that this report uses the Status of the org/person at the time the report is run, not at the time of the action)
 
−
* On Data Extractions, both as selection criteria and as data to be output on a spreadsheet
