Statuses
Statuses in CORAS provide a standardized way to track where items stand in their lifecycle — from draft to in-progress to complete. Consistent status definitions across your tenant enable automated workflows, conditional formatting in SmartLists, and real-time visibility into mission readiness on SmartBoards. When leadership needs a quick read on which programs are on track and which need attention, statuses are what power that view.
When to Use This
Defining workflow stages — Create statuses that match your organization's process (e.g., Draft, In Review, Approved, Complete).
Driving conditional formatting — SmartLists and SmartBoards use statuses to apply color coding (green/yellow/red) automatically.
Triggering automations — Status changes can trigger notifications, item movements, and other automated actions.
