Production Statuses

The Production Statuses screen lets you create custom production statuses, enabling you to manage your production process with ease. You can define which printing processes apply to each status you create. You can also color-code your statuses so that you can visualize your jobs and easily prioritize them.

Active statuses will be available for all products by default but can be overridden at the product group level and at the individual product level. Click here for instructions on how to override production statuses at the product group level. Click here for instructions on how to override production statuses at the individual product level.

Once defined, production statuses will be available to assign to line items on the Production page in Business Hub. Click here for instructions on how to assign production statuses in Business Hub.
