Object Statuses

The Object Statuses tab allows you to create and maintain statuses for custom objects and all seeded system objects except for Adversaries, Files, Signatures, and Tasks objects.

The display of the status field in an object's add modal, object details page, and preview panel is triggered by the creation of at least one status for the object type.
