shipped statuses

Nothing in the schema marks a shipped Status. system is true on a minority of them; the stock set is created_by is null, plus options[return_only]=retired for the rows a site retired.

API

Q Which Status rows does a site start with, and does anything in the schema mark them?

Endpoint GET /schema/Status/fields ; GET /entity/statuses ; POST /entity/statuses/_search

Docs claim Silent. Status is listed as an ordinary entity type, system is not documented, and nothing says which rows a fresh site holds.

Actual

GET /schema/Status/fields -> 11 fields
  code        text       editable False  "Short Code"
  created_at  date_time  editable False  "Date Created"
  created_by  entity     editable False  "Created by"
  system      checkbox   editable False  "Locked by System"
  icon        entity     editable True   "Icon"

GET /entity/statuses?fields=code,name,system,created_by,created_at,icon -> 32 rows
    id  code   system  created_at            created_by  image_map_key

   ... 12 rows, ids 33-198: created_at set, created_by a person, system False

                    system true  system false
  created_by null   6            13
  created_by set    0            13

POST /entity/statuses/_search, hash Content-Type
  created_by is null   -> 200  19 rows
  system is true       -> 200   6 rows
  an `or` of the two   -> 200  19 rows

GET /entity/statuses?options[return_only]=retired -> 200 9 rows
     3 cbb, 13 rdy, 21 blk, 22 plsh, 25 late, 26 rsk, 30 rrq, 31 out   created_by null
    20 tkt                                                             created_by a person

Teaches

  • created_by is null selects the shipped rows and is the only mark that does. It is one filter at 200, so the split costs no extra call. A row an operator added names them in created_by, and created_by is editable: false, so nobody can blank it afterwards.

  • system is a checkbox whose display name is Locked by System, and it does not mean "shipped":

    selection on the probed site
    created_by is null 19 rows
    system is true 6 rows, act dis ip na cfrm pndng
    system is true and created_by set 0 rows
    an or of the two 19 rows, the same set as created_by is null alone

    system is a subset, so an or adds nothing and system alone drops 13 shipped codes.

  • created_at is not a mark either. On the probed site it is null on 17 of the 19 shipped rows and 2014-08-06 on cfrm and pndng, which no creator names, while every operator-added row from id 32 up has both a date and a person.

  • The live listing is what the site kept, not what it started with. On the probed site 9 further rows are retired, 8 of them with no created_by (cbb, rdy, blk, plsh, late, rsk, rrq, out), and only options[return_only]=retired returns them. A low id proves nothing on its own: retired id 20, tkt, names a person.

  • The 19 shipped codes on the probed site, with the stock image_map_key each points at. Resolve a key against the site's own stylesheet and the /images/sg_icon_image_map.png sprite, both of which answer an unauthenticated GET at 200; probe 010 and recipes/010_status_picker record that rediscovery and the offsets.

    code name image_map_key
    act Active none. On the probed site it points at a custom_status/html icon
    apr Approved icon_apr
    clsd Closed icon_fin
    cmpt Complete icon_cmpt
    dis Disabled icon_na
    fin Final icon_fin
    hld On Hold icon_hld
    ip In Progress icon_ip
    na N/A icon_na
    omt Omit icon_omt
    opn Open icon_rdy
    res Resolved icon_fin
    rev Pending Review icon_rev
    wtg Waiting to Start icon_wtg
    vwd Viewed icon_fin
    recd Received icon_recd
    dlvr Delivered icon_dlvr
    cfrm Confirmed icon_thumb_up
    pndng Pending icon_voice_command

    15 distinct keys over 19 codes: icon_fin draws clsd, fin, res and vwd, and icon_na draws dis and na. The icon does not identify the status, and icon is the one editable field on the row, so a stock code can point at a custom icon.

  • Which codes a site holds is site configuration, and only the shape transfers. Read the split per site rather than hardcoding the 19: this site retired 8 shipped rows and added 13 of its own, and a shipped code is still only offered where a type's valid_values lists it (probe 009).
