A status is a distinct state that can be applied to an asset. Assets include a set of default statuses, but you can also add new statuses to represent the different states of objects in your network. On the Statuses and Substatuses page (**Settings** > **Statuses and Substatuses**), you can create new statuses and substatuses.
