In SAP Field Service Management, a Smartform progresses through a defined lifecycle, represented by specific statuses. The primary valid statuses are:

Editing: The initial state when a Smartform is created or a new version is being designed. In this state, it is not available for use in the field.

Released: Once the design is complete, the Smartform is released. This makes the specific version active and available for technicians to use on their mobile devices.

Deactivated: A released Smartform version can be deactivated, which removes it from active use. It can no longer be assigned to new activities, but existing completed forms are preserved.

A. New, Editing, Archived: 'Archived' is not a standard status for Smartforms. The correct status for retiring a form from active use is 'Deactivated'.

B. New, Editing, Released: While a form is "new" upon creation, its official status is 'Editing'. 'New' is not a distinct status in the Smartform management interface.

D. Editing, Translation, Closed: 'Translation' is a feature or process for localizing a Smartform, not a primary status. 'Closed' is a status typically associated with transactional documents like service calls, not templates.

Smartforms: The official documentation describes the process of creating

editing

releasing

and managing versions of Smartforms. The statuses 'Editing'

'Released'

and 'Deactivated' are central to this version management.

Reference: SAP Help Portal

SAP Field Service Management > Smartforms > Working with Smartforms. The section on versioning details that a form is in an 'Editing' state until it is 'Released'. Subsequently

a released version can be 'Deactivated'.

2. SAP Help Portal - Field Service Management

Smartform Designer: The guide for the Smartform Designer explicitly details the lifecycle.

Reference: SAP Help Portal

SAP Field Service Management > Smartforms > Smartform Designer. The documentation explains that a new form or version starts in 'Editing' status. The "Release" action changes the status to 'Released'

and the "Deactivate" action is available for released versions.
