Status

Change Status

This is the list of triggers available for the current package. The triggers can change the package state and move the package to other phases, depending on RayFlow configuration. If a trigger is disabled it means that it represents the current status, for example in the above picture, as the RayFlow task is already in Hold state, the trigger Hold is unavailable.
