# Status

> A select with lifecycle ordering and stage semantics.

## Overview

Status is a Select with ordering and lifecycle baked in. Use it for pipeline stages, ticket states, deal phases: anywhere the option order matters and stage transitions trigger workflow events.

## Configuration

| Setting | What it does                                                                                                                                               |
| ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Stages  | An ordered list of stages. Each stage has a label, a color, and a category (**open**, **closed-won**, or **closed-lost**) that drives lifecycle reporting. |

## What it stores

The current stage of the record.

## Filtering

Is, is not, is any of, is in category, moved to in the last (time period), is empty, is not empty.

## Examples

Deal pipeline stage; Ticket status; Account lifecycle.
