What are asset status groups?
Asset status groups in SafetyCulture are configurable sets of status options that admins can create and assign to asset types. They help organizations track the operational state of each asset, supporting day-to-day decisions about which equipment to use and what needs attention. Asset status is visible and editable across the asset list and asset profile on the web app and mobile app. Each status group contains color-coded statuses. For example, a group for equipment availability might include options like In Use, Under Repair, and Out of Service. This gives organizations a consistent way to track and communicate asset state, so teams can quickly see which assets are available, in use, or need attention.
