○ Four Stages under the cockpit
○ Individual Tasks under each Stage
The overall CVI Cockpit, the four Stages and their respective Tasks have a status associated to them. All the
Tasks of the CVI Cockpit requires manual maintenance of statuses. There are three statuses - Red, Green and
Yellow. Upon the first launch of the CVI Cockpit, all the statuses are defaulted (greyed out).
Based on the status of the Tasks, the status of the Stages is automatically determined.
● Stage status is Red, if one or more of its Tasks are set to red
● Stage status is Green, only if all its Tasks are set to green
● Stage status is Yellow, if one or more of its Tasks are set to yellow
The overall CVI Cockpit can have only two valid statuses- Red and Green, indicating Ready and Not Ready
respectively.
The overall CVI Cockpit status becomes Green (Ready), only upon meeting the BOTH the below conditions:
In case, either or all the above conditions are not met, the overall CVI Cockpit Status stays Red.
