====Status Changes====__NOEDITSECTION__
Along with a workflow map that describes the relationship between the various types of objects and processes in a workflow, the status changes or outputs from the process are critical in adequately mapping the land clearance process. {{IMSMANG}} uses the status value of items to track where the object or process is in its workflow. Objects and processes in {{IMSMANG}} can have different status values. For example, land can be defined as "''Open'', ''Worked On'', or ''Closed'', while activities that are more process-oriented can be ''Planned'', ''Issued'', ''Ongoing'', ''Completed'', ''Suspended'', or ''Aborted''. Defining a set of status values for each item provides the capability to:
* manage workflows according to status
The following figures show how each Mine Action programme can tailor the system to support a specific land clearance/activity workflow process for each type of land, from a traditional process for minefield clearance with multiple steps including a technical survey and completion survey to a simplified process for UXO clearance that includes only one EOD Spot task report. Each example involves a single Land on which one or more activities are conducted. At each step, information about the land's status and type is updated as a result of the activity.
In the figure below, a ''SHA'' is created and its status is set to ''Open''. A technical survey process is then conducted on the land, which results in changing the subcategory of the land from ''SHA'' to ''CHA'' and defining the land's perimeter. Next, a clearance process is conducted on the ''CHA'' that results in updating the status of the land to "''Worked On''." Finally, a completion report is submitted that updates the status of the land to "''Closed''."
