The Job Life Cycle and Statuses


The status of a Job changes according to the stage it is at in the Job Life Cycle. A Job can be created at any stage of the life cycle; however, different information is required in order for the job to continue through the different stages or “statuses.” A summary of all Moveware Job Statuses (the Job Life Cycle) and the events related to these statuses are outlined in the table below.


Job Statuses:

WWon (or Booked)The status that indicates that a job has been successfully booked and is going to take place. It is recommended that all information is re-checked at the time of setting this status (such as the Dates and Addresses of the Move, Pricing and Costing information and any contact details).
