Sampling statuses show where each sample is in your process. Your brand starts with a set of default statuses, and you can add your own in the Manage Sampling Statuses window.

Default statuses

These statuses exist for every brand and are locked: they can neither be renamed nor deleted, because the sampling health and the dashboard counts depend on them.

  • Created
  • Requested
  • In Production
  • Completed
  • Shipped
  • Delivered
  • Cancelled

In the list, a locked status shows a padlock and the word Default.
