Order Status
Every order carries one of four stored statuses. While an order is in progress, the badge additionally shows where the work stands.
Status Types
The stored statuses are:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Created | Order has been created, no exam documents added yet |
| In Progress | The order has exam documents and is being worked on |
| Complete | Order finished and locked |
| Archived | Order archived for long-term storage, and locked |
While an order is In Progress, the status badge is refined to show what the order is waiting on:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| In Progress | Documents are still processing |
| Review Required | One or more documents need manual review |
| Ready | All documents processed and reviewed — shown as Documents Complete |
Status Flow
Created → In Progress → Documents Complete → Complete
Archived is a terminal branch off the same flow. Like a completed order, an archived order is locked.
Automatic Status Changes
- Created → In Progress - Happens automatically when the first exam document is added to the order
Manual Status Changes
- In Progress → Complete - Click Mark Complete in the reference strip
Mark Complete is enabled only when the order is In Progress and the system is not mid-processing. Hovering the button explains why it is unavailable:
- Order is already complete
- Order is archived
- Order must be in progress to mark complete
- Cannot mark complete while the system is processing
See Completing Orders for details.
