# Process instance status

> [HTML Version](status-process-instance.html)

The widget is only available on the [process instance page](360012498891.md) form. By default, it is located on the sidebar and displays the current status of the instance: **Waiting**, **Interrupted**, **Completed**, **Error**, or **In progress**.

You can access the widget settings by creating or editing a custom instance page form. To do this:

1. Open the modeling designer for the desired business process and go to the [Settings > Instance Page](360012263052.md#instance_page_settings) tab.

2. If you are adding a new page form, click **<Default>** and then the **+Create Form** button. A standard [form template](360029250931.md) for an instance page will open, with the **Process Instance Status** widget already located on the sidebar.

You can also select a previously created form from the drop-down list and click the **Edit Form** button.



3. Select the widget and click the gear icon to open the widget settings.

4. On the **General** tab, the **Context\*** field automatically populates with a system variable that stores the business process context.

5. On the **Events **and** System** tabs, you can change the widget’s [system settings](common_widget_settings.md).

6. Click **Save** in the widget settings window, then save and publish the business process.
