Status icons
Each row in All Estimates shows a circular status icon — green ✓ Completed, blue 🕐 Preliminary, red ✕ Cancelled. The pill in the workspace uses the same color/shape vocabulary.
Every estimate on the All Estimates list shows a circular status icon to the left of the customer name. The icons make it possible to scan a long list at a glance and know what's where in the workflow.
The three icons
| Icon | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Green ✓ check | Completed | Finalized, delivered |
| Blue 🕐 clock | Preliminary | Work in progress (the default for new estimates) |
| Red ✕ | Cancelled | Not pursuing; reversible |
The status pill in the workspace (top-right of an open estimate) uses the same color and shape vocabulary — a red ⊘ Cancelled pill matches the red ✕ on the list, green Completed matches green ✓, etc. So once you've learned the icons in one place, you know them in both.
Spelling reminder
The pill, dropdown, and breadcrumb suffix all use Cancelled (British). The top-nav filter tab uses Canceled (American). The icon and color don't change; only the text label varies. See Find and filter estimates.
Changing status
Click the status pill in the workspace to change it. See Change an estimate's status for the full mechanics, including how Cancelled differs from a permanent delete.
Why these three (and not more)
Status answers one question: what should happen to this estimate next? Three categories cover it cleanly:
- Preliminary → keep working on it
- Completed → archive / done
- Cancelled → archive / didn't happen
Anything finer (Sent / Approved / In Review) would put Wave in the position of tracking the carrier's workflow, which we don't try to do. If your team needs intermediate states, use Estimate Notes or line-item notes for the context.
