# Status in GLPI, specific view

Status information is frequently used to sort hardware that is disposed, available, assigned... It is possible to create new status values specific to the information system managed by GLPI.

Defining new status and the object types they will be used for is under GLPI administrator's responsibility, see [dropdown configuration](https://github.com/glpi-network/gitbook/tree/main/manual/modules/overview/broken-reference/README.md). These defined status can be recursive, in order to ease management.

Modifying an element's status can be done either from the element's form or using mass actions.

A [report](#gestion-rapports) can display a summary of statuses sorted by asset types. [Global search on inventory](#recherche-globale-inventaire) allows to query inventory elements by status.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/modules/overview/status.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
