# Project Status Update Action

With the help of the Project Status Update Action it is on the one hand possible to set or change the status of a project, on the other hand you can lock or unlock a project at the same time. There are 4 statuses available: Locked, Housekeeper, Archived and Restore. In addition to the regular Project Lock Action, it is possible to make the project unlockable and to display a progress, for example if it is a project that is currently being processed by the housekeeper. The progress can be defined statically between 1 and 100 as well as continuously spinning (-1). Entering -2 in the Progress field removes the progress bar. It is possible to suppress the "unlock\_project" event if it is not desired that this should be carried out.

For example, if you want to archive a project, it may be necessary to indicate to the user whether the archiving process has already started or not. Up to the moment when the archiving process starts (job in the dashboard was accepted by a render node) it is logged, but no progress is displayed. Furthermore, a successfully completed archiving process can in turn lead to the status changing to indicate this as well.
