Find statuses for saved authority records in Connexion client.

You or the system assigns record statuses only to assist you in managing and processing records you are using for cataloging.
Status values are stored only in the working copy of a record saved in the online or local save file.
Exception: The client does not save the status for Report Error with the record.
Statuses are displayed in a record's status bar and in a save file list.
If a saved authority record is locked, once you replace the WorldCat record with your edits (action available only to NACO-authorized libraries) or release the lock, the statuses are not retained in the WorldCat record.

The following table lists the types of statuses, their purpose, and possible categories or values you or the system can assign:
