The Table Status column in the PNG Table Register describes the current operational status for tables in the RAMM system. The diagram below visualises the different status options. It shows how a table can progress through these options depending on the current operational state of the table.
Each table status option can be described as follows;
Table Status | Status Description |
---|---|
Proposed | The table is in a work-in-progress state, either in the design/development stage for a new table(s) or an existing RAMM table being considered for active use. |
Maintained | The table is in active use. |
System Managed | The table is in active use and is primarily maintained by the RAMM system. |
Automated | The table is in active use and is primarily maintained by an automated process. |
Archived | The table was previously in use but is now no longer actively maintained. |
Not Used | The table hasn't been used before, and there is no current intention for it to be used. There may be no information in the table, or it could be storing historical information migrated from other systems. |
Not Used (AMDS) | A subvariant of the Not Used status. This option is used for Asset Management Data Standard (AMDS) tables that are not in use, and which have been set to Private in RAMM. The generic pngsys account has been given access permissions to these tables. |
The Attribute Metadata Status column in the PNG Data Dictionary describes the state of the metadata for each attribute. The diagram below visualises the different status options, and shows how each attribute's metadata can progress through these options.
Each attribute metadata status item can be described as follows;
Metadata Status | Status Description |
---|---|
Draft | The metadata record is in a 'preliminary draft' or work-in-progress state. |
Pending Approval | The metadata record is in a 'final draft' state and requires approval to be upgraded to Live. |
Live | The metadata record has been reviewed and approved. |
Review Required | The metadata record requires review and subsequent approval/reapproval, to be upgraded to Live. |
