By default, the project status is changed automatically. This is based on your actions, or the actions of your customer.

1. Concept
   This is the default status of a new project.
   If you want a project to begin with a different status, use a project template to create a new project.
2. Pending
   The status changes to pending when you send out a quotation to your customer.
3. Confirmed
   The status changes to confirmed when your customer digitally signs a quotation.
4. Prepped, On location, Returned:
   This status is based on your actions in the Warehouse module. In this module, you can book equipment in and out of the warehouse and give it a status.

1. In a project: during the project, status can be changed at any time:
2. In the Warehouse module: the status of a project can be changed by clicking on "Done" in the project tile.
   

 

From within the project, traffic light symbols are used to indicate subproject status. You can easily see at the top of the page what the status of the active subproject is (in the below image, New York has a red dot, as it is cancelled). By hovering over any dot, a text will pop up explaining exactly what the the status is for that (sub)project (in the below image, we see that for the World Tour, the "status varies per subproject").

In the calendar or timeline view of projects, the color of the project is determined by the project type. This is not to be confused with the project status. In the image below, we can see that we have one cancelled project (struck through), two confirmed projects (normal), and one project not yet confirmed (italicized).

Create presets with filtersfor the right project status to easily find projects you need to take action for. Example: create a preset with all projects you are the account manager for on the status option to see what projects need a follow-up call after sending the quote.

Crew planner
Create presets with filters for the right project status to make sure only confirmed are shown to make sure first to plan these projects.
Canceled projects are only shown if there are still crew members planned on the projects.

Warehouse
The warehouse shows projects based on the current status. Only projects with status confirmed show here.

Invoices
Only confirmed projects should be invoiced. If a project is not confirmed it does not show up in the monetization_on Invoice module.

Subrent
Canceled projects are not shown. Add a preset with filters to filter only confirmed projects in the swap_horizontal_circle Subrent module.

Currently this is not possible unfortunately. We might add this functionality in the future. Contact Support for more information.

There is no status for projects that are invoiced. A project is invoiced when all invoice moments are completed. The issue with a project status for invoiced is that when and how projects are invoiced is different for each user and for different types of projects. It is possible a project is invoiced before the equipment is back in the warehouse. Some users do not invoice in Rentman at all since they use Rentman primarily for equipment and/or crew planning.
