| Object type | Field name | Allowed values | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Config | status | STARTED ABORT CREATED INVALID | Since creating a Config is a lengthy procedure with many possible failures, the db entry is first created with status = STARTED. Only if the procedure completes successfully is it changed to CREATED. After creation, clients may mark a Config INVALID. No client-callable MOOT functions are provided to change status to CREATED from any of the other values. |
| Config | active_state | ACTIVE INACTIVE MULTI | A successfully-created Config starts out ACTIVE. Applications may change it at will between states ACTIVE and INACTIVE. State MULTI is currently unused. |
| Parameter file | status | STARTED ABORT CREATED INVALID | Similar to Config, the db entry is first created with status = STARTED. Only if the procedure completes successfully is it changed to CREATED. |
| Ancillary file | status | STARTED ABORT CREATED INVALID | Similar to Config, the db entry is first created with status = STARTED. Only if the procedure completes successfully is it changed to CREATED. |
| Ancillary file | quality | PROD DEV TEST SUPSED INVALID | Use of this field is deprecated in favor of ancillary aliases |
| Vote file | status | STARTED ABORT CREATED INVALID | Similar to Config, the db entry is first created with status = STARTED. Only if the procedure completes successfully is it changed to CREATED. |
| FSW input | status | new added invalid (or any other string up to 32 characters) |
Refers to a binary file suitable for registration with fmx. new is the status assigned when the row is first created. added means the corresponding binary file has been successfully registered with fmx. |
Note: currently the status and active_state fields of Config are the only status-like fields which may be modified directly by client code. However Vote files and Ancillary files may in effect be activated or de-activated by assigning or deassigning aliases to them.
| Class type | Field name | Allowed values | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter class | active_state | ACTIVE INACTIVE | Allows for evolution of collection of supported Parameter classes |
| Precincts | status | OK (or any other string up to 32 characters in length) |
Precincts may be thought of as vote classes. If status is set to some value other than OK precinct cannot be referred to by new entries in other tables. |
There are more tables with status-like fields but, even more than the class tables referred to above, they are internal constructs not of much interest to clients.
