Normally a disclosure flow follows a linear path where different buttons within a disclosure form are pressed in order to move a disclosure through it's steps. Account admins are able to manually change the status of one or more disclosures and bypass the normal procession necessary to bring a disclosure to a specific status. Here are the steps:
From the Inventions module, highlight the disclosure(s) to be changed and click the Set Status button on the left.
From the displayed popup window select a status from the drop down menu, and click OK.
Any actions that are normally created from the disclosure change will be created. Any previous actions, from the prior status will be removed. For example, if the disclosure status went from Rework to Submitted, inventor actions to rework the disclosure will be removed while actions associated with the Submitted status will be added.
