View or Change Train Status

This activity is only applicable if the Train status definition has been configured. See Status Definitions.

Security Note: Assuming you can view the train, no specific security right is required to view its status history. To change the status, you need the following security rights:
• Allow train maintenance in the Trains domain security rights group
• The specific Train status transition as an allowed status transition
Status link configuration may require that only different users can change consecutive statuses, or that the user who changes the status cannot be the user who last modified the train.

Activity Steps

  1. Open the Train.
  2. Select the Status History tab.
  3. If a full Comment is not visible, hover the mouse pointer over the field to display the comment as a tooltip.
  4. To change the status:
    1. Right-click and select Set Status To and the required status from the menu.

      Note: If the Editable property of the new status is not checked, the train details are read-only. If the Selectable property of the new status is not checked, the train cannot be selected elsewhere in the MineMarket user interface; for example, for a freight invoice.

    2. Enter a Comment if required.
    3. Update the Applicable Status Start Date if required.

      Note: Ensure that the selected date does not change the sequence of statuses within the status history. You can only edit the date of the initial status if you have permission to create the train. You can only edit the date of a non-initial status if you have permission to transition the train to that status.

  5. To delete a status, right-click the status and select Delete from the menu.

    Note: You can only delete a status if it is the current status and if you have permission to transition the train to that status.

  6. Click Save.
