A document status describes the test status of e.g. a plan with e.g. draft, reviewed, approved. The stadard NQA configuration offers by default "draft / reviewed / approved" for documents and "open / to be implemented / not accepted /accepted" for reports, such as review reports etc.
The nqaadmin might have configured also other available sets which are
Open / In process / Reviewed / Done
Close / Action / Update
It is also possible to configure further sets but this requires some system administrator guidance.
You first have to check out a document or report with the command EDIT - CHECK OUT FOR EDIT. This will lead you to the checked out document/report. In this checked out dialog you see a button named with the current document state. By ticking this button the document/report receives the next higher document status.
After changing the document status and probably other steps in the checked out dialog , the document/report needs to be checked in again.
