Status

A status represents the stage of production that an assembly is in as it progresses through the manufacturing facility. Our system currently uses: Not Started, Fabricating, Fabricated, Inspecting, and Inspected to describe the different stages of production we are able to report on. Paused is also used to indicate that a Fabricating or Inspecting status has been paused by the user. This can be done to pause the logged time while the user is not working on the assembly or taking a break.
