**Status** in planeus helps you track progress across all levels of your planning, ensuring you always know what’s happening — from high-level projects down to individual tasks. 

# What statuses can a Planning Object have?

Every Planning Object in planeus has a **status** that shows where it stands in the planning or production process.

Here are the possible statuses:

| **Status**                                                | Symbol                                                                                                                                                        |

# How do statuses affect each other? 


planeus links Planning Objects in a **hierarchy**. This means that the status of higher-level objects often depends on what happens to the lower-level ones. 

The same logic applies to **all **Planning Object hierarchies.
 Following are some examples:

| Workstep 1           | Scheduled                                            |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Workstep 2           | Scheduled                                            |
| Workstep 3           | Scheduled                                            |
| **Production Order** | <font color="#000000">Shows\: </font>***Scheduled*** |

When all Work Steps are **Scheduled**, the Production Order is also **Scheduled**.


| Workstep 1           | <font color="#0C121D">Completed</font>                   |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Workstep 2           |                                                          |
| Workstep 3           | Scheduled                                                |
| **Production Order** | <font color="#000000">Shows\: ***S***</font>***tarted*** |

If at least one Work Step has **Started&#x20;**&#x6F;r is **Paused**, the Production Order is **Started**.


| Workstep 1           | Completed                                                |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Workstep 2           | Completed                                                |
| Workstep 3           | Scheduled                                                |
| **Production Order** | <font color="#000000">Shows\: ***S***</font>***tarted*** |

If some Work Steps are already **Completed** and the remaining ones are still **Scheduled**, the production order is also **Started**.


| Workstep 1           | Completed                                                  |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Workstep 2           | Completed                                                  |
| Workstep 3           | Completed                                                  |
| **Production Order** | <font color="#000000">Shows\: ***Completed***</font>****** |

When all Work Steps are **Completed**, the Production Order is **Completed**.


| Workstep 1           | Completed                                                    |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Workstep 2           | <font color="#0C121D">Interrupted</font>                     |
| Workstep 3           | <font color="#000000">Scheduled</font>                       |
| **Production Order** | <font color="#000000">Shows\: ***I***</font>***nterrupted*** |

If one Work Step is **Interrupted**, the Production Order is **Interrupted**.


| Workstep 1           | Completed                                                    |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Workstep 2           | <font color="#0C121D">Interrupted</font>                     |
| Workstep 3           | Started or Paused                                            |
| **Production Order** | <font color="#000000">Shows\: ***I***</font>***nterrupted*** |

Even if another Work Step has already **Started&#x20;**&#x6F;r is **Paused**, the Production Order is still **Interrupted&#x20;**&#x77;hen one Work Step is **Interrupted**.
