Status
On the Status screen, the possible states for the equipment are defined. There are 6 states provided by default: Not Configured, Planned Downtime, Warning, Running, Unplanned Downtime, and Unavailable. Of these states, the expressions for Planned Downtime, Warning, Running, Unplanned Downtime, and Unavailable can be edited by default. The expressions for all states can be made editable as a customization.
The provided statuses can be customized and additional custom statuses can be configured, at the individual equipment level, for equipment types, and globally. For more information, see Configuring and Customizing Equipment Status.

The status expressions are evaluated in the order that they appear in the table. The first expression to evaluate to true determines the state of the equipment. The last state in the table is the fallback state and automatically evaluates to true. The fallback state cannot be edited, regardless of the expression defined for that status. If the last state is moved out of that position, its expression is once again evaluated as defined and can be edited. You can change the order of the states using the and actions.
When equipment is first created, the Not Configured expression evaluates to true by default. The equipment remains in the Not Configured state until you have edited and saved the expression for at least one of the editable states, or have reordered the states. This also updates the Status Defined? column for the equipment on the Equipment tab to display a checkmark.
