What Status Should I Use For My Step / Task?

Statuses are used to indicate which tasks need attention, have been completed, or are not necessary.

You have 6 different statuses for steps and tasks. The key to being successful with Carketa is to make sure that the statuses are updated appropriately as items are addressed. 

Upcoming

This status is defaulted to for all non-started steps

  • Not started -- Use this status to show work that will need to be done but is not yet ready to be addressed by the team.

Active

Any status under the active status is meant to show active work and is best used when a person or team is assigned to it.

  • In-Progress -- Use this status to show work that is currently being worked on.   

  • Pending -- Use this status to show work that is dependent on another task or step that is just waiting on something else to be able to advance.

  • Available -- Use this status to show that this is an open task that can be worked on at any time.

Complete


This status is meant to display that the work is finished on the task or step. Once all work is complete, the vehicle will be marked as finished. 

Not Required

Use this status to mark all steps and tasks that do not apply to the vehicle and need to be skipped during the recon process. 

 

Once you have identified the necessary work to be done, mark all unnecessary steps as "Not Required" and proceed to mark the next step as available to keep the process flowing smoothly.
