Statuses

Statuses in general

tatuses represent various stages of a workflow process that can be assigned to their respective module.

Type of Statuses

You are able to define and manage custom statuses for Issues, Roadmaps and Test cases in Project settings of each project.

Issues

Issue statuses are used within the whole Issue management across all Issue types. You can see list of Issue type icons using particular status at the end of the line. Red dot marks the status is set as Initial or Final of respective Issue type. Yoiu can edit each Issue type statuses by clicking on particular icon. More about Issue types.

Test cases

Test cases use list of statuses similar to issues. These are linked only to Test cases. The order of the statuses set their workflow (the topmost status serves as Initial and the lowermost serves as Final). You are able to reorder these statuses using the

button.

Roadmaps

Usage of Roadmap statuses are separated in 3 individual categories (

, , ). Users can transition statuses from Initial to Active to Final, but not in reverse. For example - for a Roadmap in active state are available only statuses from active or final group. It's not possible to switch already ended roadmap back to "ready to start" status.

Users can choose to use statuses or not. If statuses are not used, there are buttons to Start and End the roadmap. To use the roadmap statuses turn the switch ON.

At this point system creates a set of basic statuses for you. One per each usage (this is minimum you can have to work with roadmaps)
