You must be logged in with dedicated user rights (e.g. as Supervisor) to manage the status of job templates.

The status handling of job templates will be recorded in the Audit Trail. It ensures that an operator can only work with job templates which are activated (released) by a supervisor including an electronic signature. To activate a job template and assign an electronic signature the supervisor must enter his password.

There is also another release process which requries two signatures to release a job template. This process is described in the chapter Release Process of Job Templates and Job Results.

If you have licensed the GxP module, all job templates which are created new get a particular status. After you have created a new job template (see Basics of Create Job Template Mode) the template has the status Draft. To make the template available for operators the status has to be changed to Active. If the template status was set to active, you cannot delete the template anymore. You can set the template status to Inactive, if you do not want the operators to work with the template.
