rsvpBOOK assigns 1 of 7 possible statuses to each successfully registered person.  What are these 7 statuses and what governs their assignment?

Three statuses are set by the registrant's selections.  These are:

1. Attending - a registrant who clicks the Accept button at the bottom of the registration page is assigned this status - this is the DEFAULT status for accepts
2. Not Attending - a registrant who clicks the Decline button at the bottom of the registration page is assigned this status - this is the DEFAULT status for declines
3. Incomplete - a registrant is assigned this status if they click the Save My Progress button DURING their registration process - this is the DEFAULT status for incompletes

The other four statuses are assigned by the event admin person.  These four are NOT a system-assigned status.  They are only placeholders so that you can define how and when you want to use them.

1. Pending
2. Approved
3. Confirmed
4. Other

How do I use these four admin statuses? You can use these four statuses to keep track of a person's journey through your website.  Although you can't rename them, you can assign them to different phases of a registrant's submission.  

For example, let's say that you want your registrants to upload a resume (default to Pending).  Then someone will read all of the resumes and decide which ones to interview (Approved) and which to reject (Other).  They would change the status to reflect the current state of the registrant's progress, Create a report for each of the three statuses for this example:

• Uploaded resume registrants - Pending
• Interview these registrants - Approved
• Reject these registrants - Other

You can change the DEFAULT status from Attending to, say, Pending (or any of the other three).  Now, all registrants will default to Pending at the time of successful registration.  After someone looks at their registrant information, they can change the status to one of the other three statuses.
