A matter can go through various states in its lifecycle. Typically matters start in an 'Active' state and can move into 'Scoping / Review' states if a scope is applied. If the matter is waiting on someone else or temporarily not dealt with, it will be 'On Hold'. When a matter is closed, it will be in a 'Complete' state.
