Completedstatus

Completedstatus is a term used in information systems to indicate that a task, process, or item has reached its final or finished state. In practice, it serves as a lifecycle indicator alongside other states such as in_progress, awaiting_input, or on_hold. The concept is common across project management, issue tracking, workflow engines, and data models, where a clear completion marker helps drive behavior and reporting.

Across implementations, completedstatus can be represented in several ways. It may be stored as a boolean value (true/false) or as a formal status code or string such as "completed" or "done." Some designs use a timestamp, for example completed_at, to imply completion when the field is populated. In relational databases, completedstatus might be a simple column, or part of a more normalized approach where a foreign key references a statuses table. In event-sourced systems, completion can be inferred from the presence of a Completed event.

Completedstatus influences how items are displayed and processed. Completed items may be excluded from active lists, subjected to archival rules, or trigger post-completion workflows. Naming conventions vary by project, with completedstatus appearing as camelCase, snake_case, or a distinct status field; consistency within a system is essential for maintainability and interoperability.

Examples include a task API returning completedstatus: true or "completed," and a ticketing system using a closed or resolved state to indicate completion.
