Status Rules

While working with APIs in the CivicEngage system, please be aware of the following normal status rules:

• You can create a draft or published item.    
  • If you are an Author you can create a Draft item or send a Submitted item.
• You need to have permissions to publish.
• Delete removes the item entirely from the system.
• You need to go from published to unpublished to delete.
• Expired and Pending are time-based.
• Submitted is when you are an Author and have created a submitted item.
• Rejected is when a publisher or higher rejected the item.
