Viewing Account Status Types

1. Load the Setup page

2. Under the Accounts and Roles section select the Account Status Types option

Default Account Statuses

The following are the default Account Status' that exist in EngageIP.  You can however create any type of status that you require

• Active - the default setting Accounts will be provisioned and billed when in this state

• Cancelled - will cancel the account and all packages associated with it. Accounts are not provisioned or billed when in this state. Packages will stay as 'Active' but their back end status will recognize that the account is canceled and will not bill out going forward until the account is enabled again or you manually bill the packages by way of 'Bill Account' option on tools page

• Suspended - will place the account in a suspended state. Packages and configuration options associated with the account will not be affected but rather suspended until manually changed. This is ideal in a VoIP implementation where an account is past due and you want to suspend service until the balance is updated.  This will prevent the system from removing the account configuration from your switch. Furthermore, accounts will still be provisioned but not billed when in this state. NOTE: As of 9.3.6 and prior, user packages will not bill however Usage will still bill. Billing only filters out ‘Cancel’ type back end status, not suspended statuses

• Prospect - this is an initial status used for accounts that are not yet ready to bill or provision. Accounts in this status will not do anything. Once the status is changed, it cannot be changed back to this status
  Note: Emails still get sent via tickets to accounts who have a back-end status of prospect

• Show in Account Statistics - if enabled the status type (Active, Canceled, Prospect, Suspended) will appear on the AdminPortal sidebar under the 'Account Statistics' heading. If you have more than one Account Status Type with the same Status selected the values will be added together under the Account Statistics heading (assuming this 'Show in Account Statistics' option is enabled for each Account Status Type)
