Create custom work status labels

Team members can update their work status in the today view from their personal page.

To create a new work status: 

1. Open Account Settings.
   1. If you are working in Resource Management in Smartsheet, select the kebab menu in the top right corner, then select Account Settings.
   2. If you are working in standalone Resource Management, select Settings > Account Settings.
2. On the left sidebar, select Work Status. 
3. At the top of the screen, select a color, enter a name, and select a stage for the status. 
4. Select Add. 

Status label tips

• Each status is a subcategory of three main categories: Planned, In Progress, or Completed.
• Text labels are limited to 64 characters.
• Hover over a label and use the up and down arrows to reorder the status list.
• If you edit a work status label, the change will show on all items using the label. 
• If you delete a label, items using that label remain unchanged; only the status label is deleted.
