Position Status defaults for Positions can be established in the Employment Settings section of the System Administration & Functional Settings in the Admin/Config menu.
The options for the Position Status dropdown list are setup in the System Data Management section.
The Position Status can be used in the Position Listing to indicate if a position is filled, open, partially filled, on hold, etc. Although the Position Status can manually be entered for the Position, it can be automatically updated base on the usage of the Approved FTE field and the employee job FTE field.
