Prior to initiating a document review process, you will need to create routing status codes.

1. In the Status Code field, enter a code, up to 6 characters,that identifies a status or stage in the review process (for example: New, Reject, etc.).
2. Enter a description of the code in the Description field.
3. Enter a sequence number for the code in the Sequence field. This number determines the order in which the status codes will be displayed in the Status drop-down field on the DM Document Review form. For example, you might call sequence number 1 "New".
   Tip: If you have several status codes that are used on a regular basis, you may assign them a lower sequence number than those status codes that are rarely used. This ensures that the frequently used codes are at the top of the list in the Status drop-down and the rarely used codes are at the bottom.
4. If this is the first status, check the Beginning Status box.
   Note: You can only check this box for one status code at a time, and the status is automatically assigned to each reviewer that is added to a document. If you need to assign the Beginning status to a different code, uncheck this box for the original code and then check it for the new code.
5. If this code represents a final status, check the Completed Status box.
   Note: You can assign this status to as many codes as you want. This status determines whether documents will display on the DM Document Review form when a user has checked the Hide Completed Items box.

   Note: If the code represents a stage in the review process that is neither a beginning or completed status, do not check either the Beginning Status or the Completed Status box.
6. Save the record as normal.
