Job Status

Work in Progress - As soon as you create a job, the job will be in Work in Progress status untill you change it further.
Ready for Review - After preparing the job—once documents and workpapers are complete—you can update the status to Ready for Review. This signals to the reviewer that the job is ready for their assessment.
