When a document is processed in Link, it is important to understand that it can be in different states, and it is also important to have a good understanding of what the individual states mean.
Typically, the document status is used in tracking scenarios (e.g. you could perform a document search for all documents with status “Failed”).
This section goes through each of the built-in statuses in Link. Note that it is also possible to introduce custom statuses - this is an advanced topic that is further described in the “Developer” section of this documentation.
This list is organized in logical order in relation to a document’s journey through the Link engine.
Inbox
The document has been received, is placed in the Link Inbox queue from which it will be picked up and processed.

Processing
Document has been picked up by Link, but has not yet been delivered.

The document has been delivered, but Link is waiting for a control message from the receiving system or an acknowledgement that the message has been received.
