When you create a custom field with "Status" as the API name, the field value is treated as the status of the asset and is displayed throughout the application as a colored badge next to the asset name.
Any field type can be used to hold a status value, however, to assign a custom color, you must use a reference list.
To add a custom status field on an asset:
-
Go to the Configuration page of the asset type, for example .
-
Select the asset type on which you want to define a custom status field.
-
On the Fields tab, click the Add button.
-
Give the new field an API Name of
Status
. If you name the field Status
, the API Name will be populated with Status
as well by default.
You can use any field type to hold a status value. If you select the List field type and then choose a reference list in the Type of List property, you can select a color for each reference list item to represent the different statuses.
There are hard coded color values for Draft (gray), Under Review (orange), and Certified (green).
-
Go to the detail page of an asset of this asset type, and set the Status field.
The status is displayed in a colored badge next to the asset name.
If the field is listable, the status will also be displayed in the asset list grid. A colored dot will also be displayed in the asset list grid if the field is based on a reference list with colors defined for the reference list items.
