Domains for status synonyms

If your business processes for record approvals or for status changes involve multiple steps for each approval or status change, you can create synonym statuses that model those processes.

For example, your business process requires that three people review a record before it is considered approved. There is a single status for waiting for approval and a single status for approved. You can create synonym statuses of waiting for approval that represent each of the preliminary approvals before the record is considered approved.

You add synonym values to a value list in the Domains application in your nonproduction environment. Import the changes to your production environment.
