Status Tracking: From Planned to Approved

Every device you place on a floor plan can carry a status that tracks where it is in the workflow. The status shows as a colored ring around the device icon, visible both in the editor and in the exported PDF.

Status is per-device, not per-plan. Camera C1 can be "Installed" while C2 is still "Wired". This is what makes FieldMarkup useful for active installs: as your crew works through the job, each device's status updates independently.

The status options you see depend on the workflow mode you picked when creating the project:

Workflow mode	Statuses (in order)
New install	Planned (slate) → Wired (yellow) → Installed (blue) → Tested (purple) → Approved (green)
Site survey	In Place (gray) · To Be Replaced (orange) · To Be Upgraded (yellow) · To Be Removed (red) · Proposed (blue)
Sales proposal	Proposed (blue) · Existing (gray) · Customer Approved (green) · Customer Declined (red) · Won (gold) · Lost (zinc)

You can change a project's workflow mode after creation in project settings. If you convert a Sales Proposal to a New Install (won the job, now executing), statuses remap automatically: "Proposed" becomes "Planned".

There are three ways to update a device's status:

1. In the editor: select a device, then click the status pill in the properties panel to cycle through states. Each click advances to the next status.
2. On the mobile viewer: open the markup on your phone at /m/[markupId], tap a device in the Devices tab, and tap the new status. This is how field techs update progress from the job site.
3. On the device matrix: open the Device Matrix page from the project sidebar. Every device appears as a row with a status dropdown. Good for bulk updates at the end of a shift.

The Status marker in the Misc category is a special icon for tracking existing devices that are already on the floor plan. Instead of placing a camera icon on top of one that's already printed on the PDF, you place a status marker circle around it.

The circle's color automatically matches its current status. As you cycle the status, the ring color changes, giving you a visual overlay of install progress on top of the architect's original plan without redrawing any devices.
