Create, rename, and reorder the lifecycle steps that matter to you. Whether it’s _Waiting for Instructions_, _Ready to Broker_, or _Ready at Yard_, your workflow now flows exactly the way you work.

---

### What’s new

A new **Custom Status Configuration** panel under  
**Settings → Status Config → Custom Statuses.**

You can now:

- Add, rename, or reorder statuses for **Orders and Manifests**
- Map your custom labels to system statuses (Booked, Assigned, In Transit, etc.)
- Maintain all automations - just with your own language on top
- Filter, search, and report by your custom statuses across the entire platform

---

### Impact

Your board, analytics, and Driver App now reflect how your operation actually moves.  
No more guessing between “Booked” and “Dispatched” - see clear, meaningful stages like:

- _Waiting for Instructions_ - booked but not ready to dispatch
- _Ready to Broker_ - pricing approved and waiting on tender
- _Tender Pending_ - offer sent, awaiting carrier confirmation
- _Going to PU / Going to DO_ - granular in-transit visibility
- _Awaiting POD_ - post-delivery tracking before close-out
- _Not in Yard / Ready at Yard_ - for carriers running yards or drop trailers

Every custom status flows through the full system - database views, filters, analytics, and automations - without breaking any logic or integrations.

---

### How to use

Go to **Settings → Status Config → Custom Statuses**,  
click **“+ Add”**, give it a name, color, and map it to a system status.  
Reorder as needed - and your team’s flow is live instantly.
