Object Status Overview
Object status information can be important when you work with objects, either in the workspace or in various action pages. If the information is applicable to your current working situation, the system presents columns in the Object List table that contain symbols indicating object status. The columns are untitled, but their status type is revealed in a tool tip when you position your cursor at the column head. Similarly, positioning your cursor over the symbols displayed in the columns displays a tool tip with the symbol's meaning.
The default status columns displayed in the workspace are:
You can display additional status information columns by customizing your table view — both in the workspace and in other tables throughout Windchill.
For more information, see Customizing Table Views
Additional status columns are:
• Out of Date Status (not the latest iteration on the latest revision)
• Out of Date with Workspace Configuration Status (not conforming to the workspace configuration specification)
Two status columns not generally displayed in the workspace, but typically displayed on action pages are:
The status columns are further explained in the following sections.

The Action status column in an action page table displays symbols that indicate how an object is treated upon committal of the action. These symbols are described in the help topics for the specific actions.
Status Messages
The Status Messages column (not a default workspace column, but available on most action pages) contains symbols indicating the type and severity of messages reporting on server interaction involving the object. It is not a default workspace column, but is available on most action pages. In the case that multiple messages apply to the object, the symbol for the most severe message is displayed. Holding your cursor over the messaging symbol displays a tool tip that lists all applicable messages in order of severity.
The server messaging symbols and their meaning are listed (in order of decreasing severity) in the following table:
Status Messages Column | |
