Understanding Mold Location and Physical Mold Status

Physical Mold location tells you where the mold is; Physical Mold status tells you whether that mold is currently usable.

Physical location

The Physical Mold's current location records where the actual mold is currently held.

This may be an internal location or a supplier/caster location depending on your workflow.

Physical Mold status

Physical Molds support operational states including:

• Active
• Lost
• Destroyed
• Retired

A remade mold can return to Active when appropriate.

Location and status are different facts

A mold can have a known location but still be retired, lost, or otherwise unavailable.

When investigating availability, check both the location and the status.

Mold Locations on the Dashboard

The Dashboard can summarize current Physical Mold locations to help operators see where molds are recorded.

Use the Mold workspace/detail for the authoritative record.
