The levels of QA status show the project's progress and signalize who is working on an issue!

The list shows the processes in the relation of Customer - CADENAS. Detailed analyses with History analyzer show exactly which project took how long in which QA level. See also Section 6.9, “ History analyzer ”.

The following table shows, when it is someones turn according to his role and which possibilities there are to change a status.

For example, in level 1 and 7 it is the customer's turn.

Changes from level 4 to 5 are set by an automatic test.

In level 2 to 6, CADENAS is responsible.

Matrix QA level - role

The column "Responsibility for action" shows the role dependency:

Editor = PARTsolutions (Designer)

-> Setting of QA status 1-4
QA group leader = PARTsolutions (group leader)

-> Setting of QA level 6
QA project leader = PARTsolutions (Project leader)

-> Setting of QA status 7
Catalog manufacturer

-> Setting of QA status 1,2 and 8

External worker+Partial Publisher (special case, not part of above matrix)

	Note
	Role External worker+Partial Publisher: The schema described under Fig. „ Matrix QA level - role“ is principally also valid here, but due to the overlappings between "External worker" and "Customer" some more options are offered here.

	Note
	In the role External worker+Partial Publisher the right for partial publishing is permanently integrated. However, this right can administratively be given to each role in addition. Concerning partial publishing see Section 6.10.5, “ Generate QA catalog... \| Publish Live state... ” -> Special notes.

Modification options:

based on status 1 -> 2,3
based on status 2 -> 1,3
based on status 3 -> 1,2,4
based on status 4 -> 1,2,3

Note
Status 5 can only be reached by data check via PARTqaChecker (TestMeta).
On this see Section 5.8.2.1.12, “ Test project / Test directory ”.
based on status 5 -> 1,2,3,6,8
based on status 6 -> 1,2,3,7,8
based on status 7 -> 1,2,3,8
based on status 8 -> 1,2,3

Project Coordinator

The role "Project Coordinator" is only available for a narrow circle of people. It enables special settings and error corrections.

Note
The use of the role "Project Coordinator" can be seen in the history.

	Note
	For all roles applies at status changes on directory level: The current status of a directory can be set again under New QA status, since subordinated directories or projects may have another status.
