# Request status

> Request status

All requests that are registered in SuperOffice have a status, such as **Open**, **Closed** or **Postponed**. Select **Request** in the navigator and in the **Request status** tab, you can see the request statuses already defined in the system, and create additional request statuses. A request status must be linked to one of the system's internal statuses, such as **Open** or **Closed**. Each internal status must be linked to at least one request status.

For example, you can create a new status called "Waiting for reply" as a more detailed variant of either **Closed** or **Open**, depending on how you want the system to process and report this status internally. You can also link custom logic to such statuses to streamline your business processes.
