Concept
Job Statuses
The Open, In progress, Ready to release, Released and Cancelled statuses of a production job, and how the status follows the checklist.
You do not choose the status of a job by hand. The status changes automatically with the tasks on the checklist. Only releasing, cancelling and reopening change the status directly. This way each column on the board shows where a job really stands.
| Status | When |
|---|---|
| Open | The job is open and no task has started |
| In progress | A task has started or is done. Uploading a file to the job also moves it to this status. |
| Ready to release | All required tasks are done |
| Released | The work has been released to the catalogue |
| Cancelled | The job was cancelled with a reason |
Overdue jobs
A job counts as overdue while a task past its due date is still open. Done and skipped tasks do not count. A job that is not released by its planned release date counts as overdue too. Overdue jobs are marked on the board and listed by the Overdue filter.
Who changes a job
The Production coordinator changes all settings of a job and releases the work. Editors and the Unit manager can only view the job. The assignee of a task can change the status and the note of their own task.
The release steps are in Releasing a Work, and cancelling and reopening in Cancelling and Reopening a Job.
