# Status transitions settings

> Configure which roles can perform work order status transitions in AssetOps

**Status transitions** define which roles can move work orders between statuses. Configure rules under **Settings** at the portfolio level. When a transition is disabled, no role can perform that change.

## Restrict transitions

Each rule includes a toggle, description, and expandable configuration. Select **Edit** to choose work order types and roles.

### Transition rules

| Rule                         | Description                                                                                                       |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Completion**               | Restrict completing a work order from incomplete statuses (open, in progress, on hold) except from **For review** |
| **In progress → For review** | Restrict moving from **In progress** to **For review**; completion policies are evaluated at this step            |
| **For review → In progress** | Restrict sending a work order back from **For review** to **In progress**                                         |
| **For review → Complete**    | Restrict **For review** to **Complete**; second step of two-step verification                                     |
| **Complete → Open (reopen)** | Restrict reopening a completed work order to **Open**                                                             |
| **Cancellation**             | Restrict cancelling from incomplete statuses (open, in progress, for review)                                      |

### Configure a rule

When you expand a rule:

1. Enable the toggle to activate the restriction.
2. Under **Choose work order types**, select programs such as inspection, corrective maintenance, or service request.
3. Under **Apply to**, choose **Only these roles** or **Except these roles**.
4. Select roles in the dropdown.
5. Select **Edit** to save.

<Note>
  Completion policies run when work orders move to **For review** or **Complete**. Align [completion policies](/products/assetops/quickstart/settings-completion-policies) with status transition rules.
