Creating Custom Status Values

For some resources, you may need to create a custom status value.
If you assign a custom status to an asset, it becomes inactive and does not appear in the reports. Instead of using custom statuses, Symantec recommends that you create a custom status as a Location and assign the asset to this location.
When a custom status is deleted, the resources that are configured with the particular custom status are reverted to the
Active
status.
This task is a step in the process for managing configuration items.
