# Status Colours

## Overview

Asset Status Colours allow you to customize the visual representation of machine states across the platform. By assigning specific colors to different machine statuses (such as Running, Stopped, or Maintenance), operators and managers can quickly identify asset performance, downtime reasons, and operational status at a glance.

### Fields

| Field  | Description                                                                                         |
| ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Status | The exact machine or asset status name (e.g., STOPPED, RUNNING) as configured in Edge.              |
| Color  | The display color assigned to visually represent this specific status across timelines and reports. |

### Where it reflects

For example, here the STOPPED status is put as grey.

When you open the [Production Report](/tillit/knowledge-base/reports/production-report.md) timeline graphs, the statuses will be set the colour you have configured.
