With the help of the Project Status Update Action, it is possible both to set or change the status of a project and to lock or unlock a project simultaneously.
There are four statuses available:
Locked
Housekeeper
Archived
Restore
In addition to the regular , it is possible to make the project unlockable and display progress.
For example, this feature is useful for projects currently being processed by the housekeeper. The progress can be defined statically between 1 and 100, or it can be continuously spinning (-1). Entering -2 in the progress field removes the progress bar.
The 'unlock_project' event can also be suppressed if it is not desired.
For instance, when archiving a project, it may be necessary to inform the user whether the archiving process has started or not. Until the archiving process begins (when the job in the dashboard is accepted by a render node), it is locked, but no progress is displayed. Furthermore, a successfully completed archiving process can lead to a status change indicating its completion.
