Publication Status Codes |
|
Within EnergySteward.com you are able to setup status codes for your price publications. These status codes indicate the disposition of the publication (whether it is active, inactive, etc.).
This configuration screen provides you with a method to setup those status codes. When working with your price index publications, these status codes will be listed in various pull down list boxes when adding or updating price indices.
The screen shot below shows the initial screen which lists out your available status codes:
Add Price Index Status Code (button) - Click this button to add a new status code.
View/Edit Grid Button (pencil) - Click this next to the applicable status code in order to change the information about this status code.
Delete Grid Button (red x) - Click this next to the applicable status code that you want to permanently delete. When you delete a status code, then all publication associations to this status will be removed (publications will still be there, just their association to this status will be permanently deleted). Important note: You will be presented with a confirmation ("Are you sure...?") dialog box prior to deletion.
Price Index Publication Status Code Name - This can be any name for the status which you want to define. It is suggested that you make this name relatively descriptive for the status in question. The name you post here is what will show up within the pull down list box when setting up price publications.
Notes - This is required and should just be a brief description for the price index publication status.
Is Status Code Available (checkbox) - If checked, then this status is considered active and will therefore show up in the pull down list boxes when setting up price index publication information. If unchecked then historical status information is maintained BUT when assigning new status codes to price index publications, the item will be unavailable (will not show up in the pull down list box).
Is Price Index Publication Considered Available (checkbox) - If checked then any price index publication associated to the status code should be considered 'Available'. Examples of available meters/wells might include 'Active', 'Pending', etc. When unchecked then the status would indicate that the price index publication associated to it ARE unavailable (like "Inactive" status, etc.).
Automatically Post This Status for New Price Index Publications ? (checkbox) - If this is checked then then this particular status will AUTOMATICALLY be posted on a price index publication without it explicitly being entered. All of this done, during actual price index publication setup. This is beneficial in those situations where a company is bulk entering their initial publications. Every new publication which gets entered can be automatically 'tagged' with the status (like 'Active') which is checked via this checkbox. Saves on entry time when setting up a publication.
