WebWork’s task statuses let you organize your tasks. By default, there are four statuses in your workspace:
- Open
- In Progress
- Done
- Closed
Each of these is grouped in its own category:
- Open
- Active
- Done
- Closed
How to add and modify task statuses
To add or edit task statutes, follow these steps:
- Go to Tasks from the sidebar.
- Hover over the project of your choice and click the gear icon next to its title. In the opened window, select Custom under Use Workspace Statuses.
- Click Add Status and enter the name of your new status and press Enter/Return on your keyboard.
This will add your new task status to the Open category of statuses. You can drag and drop the new status to the category of your choice by using the six-dot icon on the left of the status title.
Each new status will be automatically assigned a unique color. To change this color manually, click on the colored square on the left.
To delete added statuses, click the three-dot icon on the right and click Delete Status.
Note: you can change the colors and the names of the default statuses. But you cannot delete them or move them between status categories.
You can also add and modify task statuses for your entire workspace. To do this:
- Go to Settings by clicking the gear icon on the top right-hand corner.
- Click on Tasks and edit or add statues the same way as described above.
Note: If you want to delete a workspace status that’s in use by a task, you will need to select a different status to switch that task to.
