Statuses and states
Cadigence tracks state at three levels: the task, each review level, and each comment.
Task states
Section titled “Task states”| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Assigned | Assigned to a designer, not started yet |
| In progress | Being worked on in AutoCAD |
| Ready | Submitted for review and locked |
| Approved | All review levels have approved |
You may also see Unassigned (a task with no designer yet), Completed, and Archived for tasks that are closed out or filed away.
A typical task moves Assigned → In progress → Ready → Approved, looping back to In progress each time it’s returned for revision.
Review-level status
Section titled “Review-level status”A drawing under review tracks each pipeline level separately:
| Level status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Waiting, an earlier level hasn’t approved yet |
| In review | This level’s reviewer is reviewing now |
| Approved | This level has approved; the drawing moves up |
| Revision required | This level sent the drawing back to the designer |
Comment states
Section titled “Comment states”Each comment has its own state:
| Comment state | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | The reviewer is still marking up; only they can see it |
| Open | Published to the designer; visible on the drawing |
| Resolved | The designer has fixed a must-resolve comment and marked it resolved |
| Completed | The comment is closed, the reviewer verified a must-resolve fix, or it was closed automatically on approval |
Only must-resolve comments pass through Resolved; the designer can’t resolve advisory comments, so they stay Open until the reviewer approves, which closes them automatically. A reviewer can reopen a resolved comment, sending it back to open. See Comments and severity.
