Status
What is Status?
Status is your expert judgment about a machine’s condition. Unlike Priority, which is set automatically by MultiViz’s algorithms, Status is set manually by you — and it stays in place even when no alerts are active. It is the single place where your team can see what the experts currently think about each machine.
The status values
How to set it
On the Overview Page, click the Status field on the machine’s row (it shows “Not set” or the previously selected value) and choose the new value based on your findings. You also set the Status whenever you clear a source. The change is visible to everyone on your team in real time.
Status vs. Priority
Status and Priority answer two different questions:
Set by you — “having looked at it, what condition is this machine actually in?” It persists until you change it.
Set by MultiViz — “something changed here, how urgently should an analyst look?” It resets when you clear.
The two work together: a red priority on a machine whose status is Normal tells you something new has happened since your last assessment. Read more about Priority and Clearing.
Good practice
Update the Status at the end of every investigation, so the overview always reflects your team’s latest judgment, and set it back to Normal once a repair has been verified. Because Status is also the basis for reporting machine health to stakeholders, apply it consistently across the team.
