Tip

If the Sets copy active is set to NO, an item created with this status will not have the Active Date field filled. The date will be filled later when the item achieves a status with Sets copy active is set to YES.
If Is Available? is set to YES, items with that status will appear in search results when the Limit to Available checkbox is checked and can be checked out without needing to be first checked in or have any prompts regarding unavailable status appearing.
