Task statuses
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 a task wasn't accepted by the assignee.
● On hold - used when work 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:
● General and individual task statuses
User statuses
In Planfix, you can add a status that you need in order to organize your business processes. You can even configure your own status set:
