Status model
The status model is the set of task statuses on a board and the transitions allowed between them. Columns on the kanban board correspond to the statuses of its status model.
Default statuses
When a board is created, a status model with a standard set of statuses is created for it automatically:
| Status | Purpose |
|---|---|
| New | Initial status. New tasks are created in this column. |
| In progress | The task is being worked on. |
| Completed | The task is done (final status). |
| Cancelled | The task is cancelled (final status). |
Default allowed transitions
| From status | To status |
|---|---|
| New | In progress, Cancelled |
| In progress | Completed, Cancelled, New (return to work) |
A task in a final status (Completed, Cancelled) no longer moves across the board. When changing status by drag-and-drop, available columns are highlighted green and unavailable ones red.
Editing the status model
The owner or administrator can configure the status model of their board:
- On the board, open the board context menu.
- Go to the board's status model.
- Edit the set of statuses and transitions.
If a status is deleted or made final while tasks already exist in that status, the system asks where to move the affected tasks and applies the change only after the answer.
A status model is used by only one board. You can create a new status model as a copy of an existing one.
The status model editing screen is under development — the interface may change.
