Status Level?

How do you actually achieve status level? I have seen users with 1 post that have a Level 2 Status Level or something crazy like that.
What exactly does the Status Level symbolize?

why do some post show the helpful answers and other don't (some show stars and helpful notations and others don't).
If the post wasn't designated as a question you won't see any such notations. (When you post a new topic, there is a checkbox saying "Mark this topic as a question - this encourages people to answer for points and helps you track answers.")
If the original poster awarded stars to posts, you will see stars next to those posts. If the original poster did not award any stars, you will not see any.
If you posted the original question, you will see the buttons next to each post that allow you to award "helpful" and "solved" designations for any of the responses.
as for the fix, since you ask, how about no points at all since the goal is other users helping other users and not to garner points.
This has been discussed here hundreds of times over the years. There are reasons for having points and levels, but there are those who think they don't matter and others who think they're worthwhile. It's an ongoing debate. The idea, for what it's worth, is that a level system helps new users determine which people helping them are likely to be reliable. The points system is the way users reach higher levels.
The reason that no one but the original poster can award points has to do with forum abuse. When anyone can award points to any post, we have had problems with people purposefully raising the status of their friends by giving any and all of their posts "helpful" designations, regardless of post content. Under the current system, only the person who asks the question can award points to the answers and the number of points they can award are limited, all to try to make the system actually work as intended. (Whether it does work is another matter for debate, also discussed here ad nauseum over the years.)

  • Status level and points?

    :(

    Hi,
    Are you worried about status level and points ?
    What benefits you are getting from that ?
    AFAIK, nothing i believe, try to check the posting and information across where forums members sharing across, which is providing much information with respective to ORACLE technical knowledge. I think that is much more benefits when compare to points etc.,

  • Won't show ink status levels

    I have an HP Officejet 6310xi All-in-One that I've had for quite a while. I used to be able to bring up the ink level status but not anymore. I had a bluetooth connection and thought that was the problem. But I switched to a USB cable to be able to check and got the same thing. I did turn the printer off and reboot the computer and then powered the printer up with the USB cable but got the same message it can't show levels as it couldn't establish two way communication. I might as well plug the BT back in if I can't resolve this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Has anything recently changed... like installing new software packages or updates?  You could print a self test page that provides the ink levels.  Here is a document from the product support page for the HP OJ 6310xi. 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c02030504&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1120043&tmp​...
    If you didn't want to print the self test page, then I would uninstall and reinstall the the printer to see if that helps.  or you might even run the print diagnostic tool.  This can sometimes automatically fix the problem.

  • How to get Status Level upgraded ...

    ...to Level 2 since I now have 195 Total Posts Online.
    Thanks.
    ~Raymon

    only solved/helpful ratings given to your actual postings will count towards your points total
    5 points for 'helpful' - yellow star
    10 points for 'solved' - green star
    most people who post a question fail to award points to the people who try to help them, but they're not being mean, they may not even know the points system exists
    my advice is ignore points/levels, there's no real benefit to having more, and the system is rigged in favour of us old timers anyway...
    in the past, points were awarded simply for posting, then when the system changed it was like the 'posting points' were doubled and added to 'real points' to create the new points count, the people on the system with the largest numbers of points got most of them this way
    so in my case i've got over 5000, but i think about 3000 of those were from the doubling-up of points for posting messages, which is just silly
    personally i think it is much nicer to get a 'thank you'!

  • Battery Status Level In Desktop Manager Does Not Agree With Battery Level Indicated On My Curve 8330

    I just got a new Curve 8330 from Verizon.  It came with a Desktop Manager 4.3 disc.  I installed it, but then learned that version 4.7 was available.  I uninstalled 4.3 and downloaded and installed 4.7 from RIM.  When I started to charge my Curve via USB cable to my PC, the Desktop Manager showed a battery charge of 37%.  My Curve was 100% charged later in the day, but the Desktop Manager still indicated it was only 37% charged.  I uninstalled 4.7 and reinstalled it, per advice of Verizon.  Then the Desktop Manager correctly showed a battery charge of 100%.  But as I used my Curve and used up battery to a 50% level (as indicated on the Curve), the Desktop Manager still showed a 100% charge.  A minor glitch with the Desktop Manager software?  Any solutions?  Thanks.

    it's a glitch. The(false) value can be updated by going into the Help menu if I recall correctly.

  • How to change the  UDT's Status other than Open and Close ?

    Hello Friends,
                          I have created an table of document type and I want to set the document Status other than open and close for eg.R- Released .
    Thanks in advance.

    I think if you're using a UDF to set this Status for Marketing documents
    First you need to set what item corresponds to each Status level you're tryinf to deploy
    After that you can use SDK to set this new property or Formatted searches to change the Status you re creating, and save the document as a draft during your process and your status.
    But if you're trying to change the fiel Status used on every Marketing document (i mena the system one), you should know that it is impossible 'cause this is an only read system field.
    Hope it helps

  • Status used in open and completed transactions in Fact Sheet

    Hi! I would like to confirm the logics used in the fact sheet to display open and completed transactions. I read on the help that for open (for example) transactions, system is using status 'open' and 'in process'. This seems to me like system status. However, when I ran the fact sheet, the control is more at the user status level. So, I need clarification on this. Also, where can I find the status and transaction logics used for the extraction of these transactions (e.g. what transaction types are used)? I could not find the codings in the method GET_REPORT under class CL_CRM_CCKPT_PROCESS_CLOSED for example. Perhaps I have looked in the wrong place?
    Appreciate any help on the above.
    Cheers!
    SF

    No response. Based on what is being debugged, all transactions are taken into account.

  • Issue with PO release (multi level approval)

    Hi,
    Need help regarding PO release. I am working with 4 level  approval process.
    Information:
    it is sequential release as I can see in workflow log, a new workflow gets generated for next level only after previous level executes the workitem.
    Facing following issue at 2nd Level :
    Level 2 releases item and it goes to Level 3, but workitem doesn’t disappear from inbox.Once Level 3 releases item, an acceptance mail goes to Level 2. But along with the mail, updated workitem (i.e. showing release by 3rd level) also appears in inbox of Level2. Now two work items appear in Level2 Inbox.
    In Workflow Log, this is how its behaving:
    WORKFLOW STARTED-->
    1st WF appears in WF log.
    Level 1 releases WI ->
    2nd workflow appears in WF log +
    1st workflow with (in process status)
    Level 2 releases WI ->
    3rd WF appears +
    2nd workflow with (in process status) +
    1st workflow with (in process status)
    Level 3 releases WI ->
    3rd WF appears +
    2nd workflow with (in process status) +
    1st workflow with (in process status)
    ISSUE: As soon as Level 3 sends back acceptance to Level 2, updated WI item appears( i.e. with latest release status which in this case is: released by level1, Level2 and Level3) along with the mail.
    Level 4 releases WI ->
    4th WF appears +
    3rd WF appears (in process status) +
    2nd workflow with (in process status) +
    1st workflow with (STATUS COMPLETED)
    ISSUE: As soon as Level 4 sends back acceptance to Level 2, updated WI item appears( i.e. with latest release status which in this case is: released by level1, Level2, Level3 and Level 4) along with the mail.
    Result:
    PO gets released.
    In workflow log 2nd, 3rd and 4th workflow appear with IN PROCESS STATUS. All of them show process stopped at LEVEL2.

    Hi Kjetil,
    Release strategy is being used. Configuration for release strategy is given as following.
    RGroup Rcode   Workflow     Agent
    Z6          R1         1                Blank
    Z6          R1             1                Blank
    Z6          R1             1                Blank
    Z6          R1             1                Blank
    Release is sequential.
    For column 'Agent' mentioning position or User is not really useful because we are getting agents through Z table. Reason is: current org structure supports 1 position with multiple users from same department. In our scenario we need to find initiators department then find relevant approval levels for that departemnt. So I cannot mention any position in 'Agent' Column as release code will be locked against one position and one departetment.
    Agents picked through Z table. Table has fields  Agent/ UserID , level, department.
    Logic to pick agents( Object and method created ): 
      When workflow starts, it finds department of the initiator.
      For that department-> find approval levels available(L1, L2,  L3).
      For these levels -> Find Agent mentioned for that level.
      Onece Agents are found for all levels -> Pass them to WF  container.
      In task activity, These agents are passed back to the rule and  the task comes to know which agent it should go to.
    Result : Four workflows start in sequence. When last level releases, only 1st workflow shows COMPLETED status. Rest three hang at level 2. If I see Me29N , release for that item is shown completed. To me it seems triggering of only first workflow is enough for release. Is there any way I can avoid trigerring of other three workflows?

  • Apex 4.0 tree does not work with more than 2 levels.

    When I have more than 2 levels in my tree, I only see the root node. The query works fine and returns 132 rows when I run it in SQL. It is just the tree that does not work.
    The same tree when built in 3.2 works fine.
    This is my tree query:
    select case when connect_by_isleaf = 1 then 0
    when level = 1 then 1
    else -1
    end as status,
    level,
    "NAME" as title,
    null as icon,
    "ID" as value,
    null as tooltip,
    null as link
    from (
    SELECT '__TOP_NODE__' id
    , NULL pid
    , 'BI Applications' name
    , '' link_id
    , null a1
         , null a2
    FROM dual
    1 b) BIA Modules
    UNION ALL
    SELECT '__MD_'||module_key id
    , '__TOP_NODE__' pid
    , module_name name
    , module_key link_id
    , '__MD__' a1
         , null a2
    FROM c_bia_module
    Level = 2
    Parent = Module
    Node = Functional Areas
    ID = '__FA_' prefixing functional area code
    UNION ALL
    SELECT '__FA_'||funcarea_key id
    , '__MD_'||module_key pid
    , funcarea_name name
    , funcarea_key link_id
    , '__FA__' a1
         , null a2
    FROM c_functional_area
    Level = 3
    Parent = Functional Area
    Node = Fact Group
    ID = '__FG_' prefixing fact group key
    UNION ALL
    SELECT '__FG_'||factgroup_key id
    , '__FA_'||funcarea_key pid
    , factgroup_name name
    , factgroup_key link_id
    , '__FG__' a1
         , null a2
    FROM c_fact_group
    start with "PID" is null
    connect by prior "ID" = "PID"
    order siblings by "NAME"
    If I reduce the query to just use two levels like:
    SELECT '__TOP_NODE__' id
    , NULL pid
    , 'BI Applications' name
    , '' link_id
    , null a1
         , null a2
    FROM dual
    1 b) BIA Modules
    UNION ALL
    SELECT '__MD_'||module_key id
    , '__TOP_NODE__' pid
    , module_name name
    , module_key link_id
    , '__MD__' a1
         , null a2
    FROM c_bia_module
    It works fine. Can somebody let me know what I am doing wrong? Is there a way to set the number of levels supported in 4.0?

    Hi Vidya,
    Thanks for posting your example. You may want to remove your workspace details from the previous posting, or at least update the password on the workspace. I've taken a look at your example and initially couldn't see anything wrong with your tree query. However, when I ran your query in SQL Workshop, it only returned one row, which would explain why you were only seeing one node in your tree! I've updated your query to use a WITH clause, and the tree is now working correctly. I believe you've hit an underlying database bug where the CONNECT BY query is only returning 1 row, when in fact it should return > 1 row. By re-writing the query to use a WITH clause, you can get around the problem.

    Hilary

  • Status field in Cycle count

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to involve the "status field" of the meterial in Cycle count procvess. Here the client need is to count the material at material status level.
    If this possible, please let me know the t-codes / Process flow.
    thanks & regards
    Chaitanya Rayaprolu

    Explain what your  status is and what it controls, and where you maintain it.
    In general SAP materials can have material statuses to control business.
    However these statuses are not visible in a phyiscal inventory document or in its selection screen.
    you have to modify screens, programs and forms to make such status visible for physical inventory.

  • Document level Authorization

    Hi Gurus
    Can user(Owner) define authorization for the roles/user to change / display particular document. As i know we  can control the users by status level, but our client doesn't want to check any values. They just want to restrict the users to change/display the particular document.
    The requirement is that, If a document is created by a user then he should be able to define the authorization for other users. Suppose is he gives display access to USER1 the USER1 should only be able to view the document. If he gives change access to USER2 then USER2 can be able to change the document.
    Regards
    Raja

    Thanks  Iring...
    I have already checked ACL , but there are some problems in ACL
    Can you please provide your Suggestions/Solutions for the below issues
    We have 2 users => USER1, USER2
    USER1 is authorized for create, change & display (not for delete)
    USER2 is authorized for display (not for create, change & delete)
    Issue-1:
    Suppose if USER1 provides "NOAUTH" to USER2 in Authorization Tab  then the system should restrict USER2 to access that document. But the system allows USER2 to view the document (CV03N ).
    There are no entries defined for the authorization object ACO SUPER .
    Issue-2
    If there is no entry for USER2 in Authorization Tab then he can't be able to view the document even he is authorized to display the document in CV03N.
    Issue-3
    If USER2 wants to delete all the entries defined in Authorization Tab then he can't be able to delete the entry for USER2 (same user).
    Issue-4:
    If a document is created by USER3 then the system should not allow USER2 to specify the authorization in Authorization Tab in CV01N.
    Regards
    Raja

  • Error when assigning planning level in Treasury - Link to Cash Management

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    I am trying to assign the planning level in FSCM (ECC6) using this configuration path Treasury & Risk Management->Transaction Manager-> General settings-->Link to cash management--->Assign Planning Level  - but when I tried to assign the combination of product type, status, level, bank known and unknown, I get the error message "Entry cocode 51A 10 does not exist in TZC37 ( check entry). I tried to find the maintenance dialog in SM30 for table TZC37, the IMG activities points to Loans > Company Code-Dependent Settings for Product Type.  But I am assigning MM, FX product type.  Has anyone encountered this problem?  Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,

    Hello,
    Even I got the same issue when I was doing the configruation for "Assign Planning Levels" (FZFD) in TRM (Link to Cash Mgmt).
    The easiest way to get rid of TZC37 Entry, do not enter anything in second column which is Status of data record (STA), system will automatically take the value as "0"
    Thanks - Imran.
