The QA status levels show the progress of the project and indicate whose turn it is!

The following list shows the processes in the assignment of client - CADENAS. The detailed evaluation using the history analyzer can be used to determine exactly which project was in which QA stage and for how long. See Section 6.9, “ History analyzer ”.

The following table shows when it is each person's turn according to their role and what options are available for changing status.

In stages 1 and 7, for example, it is the client's turn alone.

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

In levels 2 to 6, the ball is in CADENAS 's court.

Matrix QA level - Role

As the "Responsible for action " column shows, there is a role dependency:

Processor = eCATALOG 3Dfindit (Designer)

-> Setting of QA status 1-4
QA group leader = eCATALOG 3Dfindit (group leader)

-> Setting of QA level 6
QA project manager = eCATALOG 3Dfindit (project manager)

-> 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 editor+partial publisher: The scheme described at Fig. „Matrix QA level - Role “ also applies here in principle, except that further status changes are possible due to the role overlap "External editor" <-> "Client".

	Note
	The External editor+Partial publisher role has the right to partially publish permanently integrated. However, this right can be administratively assigned to any role. For more information on partial publishing, see Section 6.10.5, “ Generate QA status.. \| Publish live stand.. ” -> 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).
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
	The following applies to all roles for status changes at directory level: The current directory status can also be set under New QA status in addition to the above information, as subordinate directories and projects can have a different status.
