The Change Status command is used to change the status of registered shoal boxes. Shoals are either Active or Cancelled.

• Active shoals are currently relevant and need to be considered during navigation.

• Cancelled shoals are historical and not a current hazard.

To change the status of a shoal, it must be registered in the database. See Register in Database for more information.

The status of a shoal box is identified by a number, which can be viewed in the Attributes window under the Status attribute (shlsta). This number is defined in your shoal record associations file (for example, Active = 1, Cancelled = 2).
