User Preferences - User Status - Edit
User statuses enable organizations to track an employee through different employment life-cycle statuses. All user statuses are pre-defined with default names and categories so that specific functionality can be associated with user statuses within the system. Additional user statuses cannot be created. Although the system uses pre-defined user statuses, administrators can configure the user status names to match their organization's terminology.
To access the User Preferences page, go to
.- To edit a user status, select Edit from the Options drop-down menu.
