All items have a Status field. This field is used to control how the item can be used. The status of an item can only be changed by either its Owner or the Suggea administrator. The Owner can only change the status from and to a subset of the possible status values. The table below shows the possible values for this field, its meaning and how each value can be controlled.
A User will only normally see items which are in the Active, Locked or Under Review state.
An Owner of an item will still also see an item in other states in normal page views (such as Front Page). Archived, Deleted or Closed (currently Issues only) items will only be displayed and accessed from the User Content page.
