How do I change a query's status or create my own status?

Each submission has a status that tells you where it stands. You can change it in a couple of clicks, and add your own statuses when the built-in ones don't fit.

Built-in statuses

Initial Inquiry Sent, Requested Full, Sent Full, Offer of Rep, No Response, Uninterested, Withdrawn and Other.

Change a status from the table

1. Open Query Tracker from the left sidebar.
2. Click the coloured status pill on the submission's row.
3. Pick the new status. It saves straight away and the row's Last Modified date resets.

Create a custom status

1. Click the status pill on the row and choose Other…. The edit window opens. (You can also click the pencil icon and change Status to Other.)
2. Type a name in the Custom status name box, for example "Revise & Resubmit".
3. Click Save Changes.

Your custom status is remembered. From then on it appears in every row's status menu, so you can apply it with one click.

Things to know

• If you choose Other but leave the name blank, the status is saved as "Other".
• The status filter above the table has a single Other option that shows every submission with a custom status.
• Active Queries only counts Initial Inquiry Sent, Requested Full and Sent Full, so custom statuses aren't counted as active.
