Task statuses help track a task's journey from creation to completion. You can filter by task status, create reports by task status, and view a Planner by task status.

Standard statuses

In Planfix, we have main and additional task statuses.

Main statuses - these are statuses that a task takes over the course of a typical life cycle:

New - newly created tasks have this status before they have been accepted by assignees (Note: if the assignee is the same as the assigner, the task will immediately be given the status "In progress," since it's not necessary for a user to accept tasks they assign themselves.)
In progress - it conveys that the assignee has accepted the task and is working on it.
Ready for review - used after the assignee considers the task to be done.
Complete - set by the assigner as confirmation that the task was completed correctly.

Additional statuses are used less commonly, but they also play an important role in Planfix tasks:

Draft - used when a task hasn't been assigned yet. This lets you take time to work on a task and make it active when you're ready.
Declined - used when the assignee didn't accept a task.
On hold - used when working on a task has been suspended. When you change a task to this status, you can select a date for the task to become active again.
Canceled - used when you decide to stop work on a task.

Task names are displayed in different colors. The color of a task's name depends on its status.

General and individual statuses

A task can have different statuses for different participants. This applies to both standard and user (custom) statuses:

+A task can have different statuses for different participants. This applies to both standard and user (custom) statuses:
-* '''[[Draft]]''' is a task that has not been delivered to anyone yet. This allows you to refine the task and make it active at the right time.
-* '''Rejected''' is a task that the assignee did not accept.
-* '''Hold''' is a task that you decided to pause. When translating a task into this status, you can select the date when it will become active again.
-* '''Canceled''' - the task, the work on which it was decided to stop.
