How Does an Idea Status Get Updated Automatically?

When ideas are approved, the status will be set to On-Track instead of Complete. This is more in line with the process where there is an additional step needed after approval to convert the idea to a project. The status will update to Complete once the idea is converted to a project.

Note: Idea and On Track are replaceable terms in PowerSteering. Your organization may use different labels to represent ideas and / or the different statuses such as On Track, Needs Attention, etc...
