# 13. Edit Work Status

A Work Status says where the job is — waiting for parts, in the bay, ready for collection — and like customer statuses each carries a colour. Use Work Status for the vehicle's progress and Customer Status for the customer's. The list shows each Work Status Type and its Status.
