# Open Statuses

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**Open Statuses**

*03. Admin User Manual › Workflow Management › Open Statuses*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

Administration → **Task Statuses** lists every status a task can be set to, per **area** (Contracts, Requests, Vendor/Customer, Purchase Orders, E-Sourcing, Employees); the built-in **Open** status is flagged **System** (can't be renamed or deleted) with **Closes Task** set to No, meaning a task left in **Open** status stays outstanding rather than resolving itself.

# 2. Key Elements

- Administration → **Task Statuses** → **Area** lists every configured status with its Enabled, Allow Email, **System**, and **Closes Task** flags
- **Open** is a built-in **System** status with **Closes Task**: No — the default state for an unresolved task
- **Task Complete** and **Rejected** are the built-in **System** statuses with **Closes Task**: Yes
- Custom statuses (e.g. "CK Contract Status," "CLOSE," "Send Back") can be added and configured with their own **Closes Task** behavior
