An Action is the label on a button. And Status is the state in which the issue currently resides. So, given a particular issue Status a number of Actions are available for a person to click on.
In the table below, the first column is the Action chosen to reach the state represented by the rest of the columns: Status, further actions available, etc.
In the last column, each available Action has the target row in parentheses.
