To edit your Equipment Statuses, click on the cog icon in the bottom left-hand corner to take you to the Settings Centre.
Step 2: Navigate to Equipment & Contracts in Settings
Once within the Settings Centre, navigate to the Equipment & Contracts page and scroll down until you reach the Equipment Statuses configure option.
