Conditions for Defaulting Job Workflow Status

When a job is created, then the job's Workflow Status is set to Registered, its Registration Date is stamped and Registered By is set to the current user.

If the AUTO_ACTIVATE_JOBS application preference is not defined, or is defined and selected, and a job has a Job Type of Production, Internal or Proposal, and the job has a Workflow Status of Registered, when you successfully expand a group of samples to create the individual samples in the job, then the job is automatically activated such that its Workflow Status is set to Not Started. If the preference is defined and is cleared, or the job does not have a Job Type of Production, Internal or Proposal, or the job does not have a Workflow Status of Registered, when you successfully expand a group of samples to create the individual samples in the job, then the job is not automatically activated such that its Workflow Status remains as Registered.
