Customize status workflow
Note: To customize the status workflow, you must be an Admin or a Manager level user (see "Roles, access levels and access rights").
Your project structure incl. status workflow is based on the project template you chose when you created the project using the "Create new Project" form. The template is a set of configurations that are loaded and set up during project creation.
To adjust status workflow, click Customize Status in the Kanban view or go to Settings and then click Customization. Here, scroll down to Activity/Event Status.
Activity/event status are the options available to define the status workflow of progress when posting an update on an activity or event e.g. Started, Completed or Achieved.
To change the order of the activity/event status, drag and drop the status to the right position.
To create new activity/event status or to update, delete, duplicate an existing activity/event status, follow the instructions below.
