Here's how Linden Lab uses the workflow status and resolution field:


; Waiting Review : Initial state when an issue/ticket is created or when it is reopened from a resolved or closed state. All issues in in this state will be reviewed and triaged.
; Awaiting Review : Initial state when an issue/ticket is created or when it is reopened closed state. All issues in in this state will be reviewed and triaged.


; Acknowledged : After we upgrade (planned for Sept 7): When an issue has been imported to an internal Linden Lab project, it will be marked as Acknowledged. We're installing a custom tool to enable syncing between internal and external projects (ie VWR, SVC, WEB). <br/> Prior to upgrade: Acknowledge is all issues that were In Progress.
; Been Triaged : This state indicates that the issue is being reviewed by Linden Lab.


; Fix Pending : When the imported issue has passed QA internally, then the public issue will change to Fix Pending. The bug is fixed in a version of the code that should soon be publicly available.
; Accepted : When an issue has been imported to an internal Linden Lab project, it will be marked as Accepted.


; Released (Resolution = Fixed) : When the imported issue has been released (when it's marked as Closed), then the public issue will be marked as Released and the Resolution = Fixed.
; Needs More Info : The issue lacks actionable information. Add the info or it CAN'T be investigated.


; Closed :
; Information Provided : The issue has been updated with the necessary information.
:; Resolution = Fixed : When the Reporter agrees the issue is fixed in Production, s/he should mark the issue as Closed.
:; Resolution = Won't Finish : The assignee or Linden Lab doesn't reasonably believe this issue should or will be fixed.

; Cannot Reproduce (Resolution = Incomplete) : Following the stated steps does NOT show the problem. Please provide a solid description of how to reproduce the problem, otherwise it's like finding Bigfoot. Issues that can't be reproduced will eventually be closed.

Here's how Linden Lab uses the workflow status and resolution field:

Awaiting Review
Initial state when an issue/ticket is created or when it is reopened closed state. All issues in in this state will be reviewed and triaged.
Been Triaged
This state indicates that the issue is being reviewed by Linden Lab.
Accepted
When an issue has been imported to an internal Linden Lab project, it will be marked as Accepted.
Needs More Info
The issue lacks actionable information. Add the info or it CAN'T be investigated.
Information Provided
The issue has been updated with the necessary information.
Closed
Resolution = Contact Support
The issue does NOT belong in the Bug Tracker, and needs to be handled through the Support Portal or Second Life Answers.
Resolution = Expected Behavior
This is NOT a bug and functions by design See Expected Behavior aka Not a Bug.
Resolution = Duplicate
There's another issue about the same problem.
Resolution = Unactionable
Problem described in the ticket is not in a form that action can be taken (i.e. it's too broad)
Resolution = Not Applicable
The Reporter has decided to close the issue.
