Do you have more than one type of workflow in your business that you want to setup differently? Maybe you have an install and a service team, or warranty work that requires a different workflow? With the business workflows you can setup as many workflows as you like, and show only the job statuses that are relevant to that workflow.

Add job statuses to the workflow
Some things to keep in mind:
A job, Invoice or timesheet can only be set to one workflow
Workflows can share job statuses, or have their own
Each workflow can have their own order for statuses
A job status will only show for a workflow if it has been added to that workflow
Use separate job statues if you want different triggered messages for workflows
