'Work Status' field on Investment object and Roadmap

Products

• Clarity PPM SaaS
• Clarity PPM On Premise

Issue/Introduction

Reviewing the ideation module in the Modern User Experience (UX), Work Status seems to be a new field in the Clarity Investment object and Roadmap Objects:

• Field name: Work Status
• Look up name: Work Status

This attribute is available on the Investment object and Roadmap object. How is it supposed to be used? Does it have any dependency on the Status or Progress fields? 

Environment

Release : All Supported

Component : Clarity Project Management

Resolution

In the Modern User Experience, the field "Work Status" was created to replace the field Status. This lookup is configurable so that lookup values can be added, updated, or deactivated. Additional notes:

• This field is one of the ones available to use for filtering on the Project Tiles page. See Filter the Project Tiles at: Clarity: Create, Open, and View Projects where this is referenced. 
• This field is also included for reporting such as: Project Planning Schedule

There are no plans to make any changes to the old progress or status fields, these will continue going forward. You can select which field works best for you (noting the known limitations with the Status fields as referenced at: Idea / Project 'Status' field shows incorrect values)

Additional Information

Note: There are no plans to change status fields on the Task object, this change was made for investment objects
