Trainer Competency Matrix Status - Additional status 'Pending'

We are currently looking at implementing the Competency/Evidence Matrix functionality but have hit a wall when it comes to a pending status.

In order for the units to come up for a trainer to select they need to have one of the 4 competency statuses allocated (Train under supervision, Train Only, Assess Only, Train and Assess)

As part of our process we need to identify a way to have an 'Pending Approval' or 'In Progress' status so that only once a matrix is approved will they have one of the above Statuses..

The issue we are having is that in order for trainers to be able to add evidence against a unit, they need a competency status to begin with. Changing them all to No Competency removes the ability to do this, so an ‘In Progress’ status would therefore have different functionality.

This was originally added as a support request following our Power User training session with Axcelerate but we have advised that this development has not been included in current path.
