Ensure that you have added a status column and statuses to your list.
​

Select the status button in a row and click on the arrow.
​

​

Click on 'Edit statuses'.
​

​

Scroll to the bottom of the list and select 'Set automatic actions'.
​
​

​
​
​

If you have used a set status workflow, automatic actions may already be applied.
​
​

​
​

You can change automatic actions for set status workflows or create these from scratch if you are using a blank workflow.
​
Statuses can be applied automatically in four instances - when new rows are added, when files are uploaded, when approval checkboxes are all ticked and when these checkboxes become unticked or a file changes.
​
​

​

To switch off any of these automatic actions, select or deselect using the button beside each action on the left.
​
​

​

To apply a status to an action, click on the status button on the right and select from your set statuses.
​
​

​
​

Press 'save' to make your changes live. In the case below, when a new row is added to a list, it will automatically be assigned the 'to be approved' status.
