These are the different Statuses available in the TMS. The status of a document, target and phase will trigger different responses in the workflow and interactions between applications in the TMS. Used properly, they enable automation and powerful functionality in integrations.
Status Types
Status | State | Document | Target | Phase/Task |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ready | Active | Ready is the initial document status. | The target is considered ready if:
| A phase is considered ready if:
|
In Progress | Active | The document is in progress if:
| Targets are in progress if:
| A phase is considered in progress if:
|
At Risk | Active | The document is at risk if:
| Targets are at risk if:
| A phase is at risk if:
|
Past Due | Active | The document is Past Due if:
| Targets are past due if:
| A phase is past due if:
|
Waiting | Inactive | NA | NA | A phase is waiting if:
|
Waiting (At Risk) | Inactive | NA | NA | A phase is waiting (at risk) if:
|
Waiting (Past Due) | Inactive | NA | NA | A phase is waiting (past due) if:
|
Skipped | Inactive | NA | NA | A phase can be skipped if:
|
Canceled | Inactive | A document can be canceled if:
| A target can be canceled if:
| A phase can be canceled if:
|
Completed | Inactive | A document is completed if:
| A target is completed if:

Late | Inactive | A document is late if:

Canceling vs. Skipping a Phase
Only phases can be Canceled or Skipped. Documents and Targets can only be canceled. However, a canceled Document or Target will have different effects on the phase depending on the status of the phase.
- Canceling a document will cancel every target that has not completed its workflow. Canceling a target will:
- Skip phases that have not yet been started.
- Mark every phase that is In Progress as Canceled.
- Leave Completed phases as Complete.
Editing Completed Phases
- You can edit segments in Completed and Late phases as long a translation has not been saved for that segment in a later phase.
- You cannot edit cancelled and skipped phases since project managers or clients have cancelled/skipped those phases with the intent that they NOT be worked on.
- If the workflow has been completed, the final phase can be edited and resaved regardless of status. Any callbacks set up on the project will be resent upon saving edits.
