As the request is progressed the single field on the form that indicates the stage in processing is the status/stage code. (Maintained through – Settings Categories – Status/Stage Codes). The list below provides a guide to the various stages/status codes of processing and how they are linked. Status/stage codes have been set for the processing of FOI, Data Protection, Complaints, and EIR requests. However, these may not reflect how all users wish to manage their cases and is usually an area that is customised.
The default status/stage codes available for the FOI process are listed below. These must be set manually unless specified:
| FOI Received | The default status/stage for new FOI requests – sets the target dates. |
