4. Enter the candidate status name into the **Title** column.
5. Assign a code to the newly created status in the **Code** column. Use one of the following: **APPLIED**, **INPROCESS**, **ACCEPTED**, **REJECTED**.
6. Select **Yes** in the **Send Email** column if you want the system to send a notification letter when the candidate's status is changed to this status.
7. If the letter is to be sent upon the status change, enter the message body template into the **Message Body** column. You can use the following fields to substitute candidate's data while generating a message: [FullName], [ApplicantID], [CandidateID], [Vacancy], [VacancyID].  
*Note****Vacancy** and **VacancyID** are internal names of the Job Opening and Job Opening ID* *fields.*
8. If the letter is to be sent upon the status change, enter the message subject into the **Message Subject** column.
9. Enter the index number into the **Status Order** column. This will determine the order in which statuses will be displayed on Candidate Dashboard.
