Configure Statuses

  • This setting can be enabled on a global and/or project level. The project setting will override the global setting.

Edit a Status

Once a status has been added, you can edit the color, but not the other properties. If more changes are needed, then delete and recreate the status.

Reorder a Status

Use the up/down arrows to change the order in which the statuses will be listed.

Delete a Status

All statuses except for Open and Done can be deleted. These two statuses are the defaults for unchecked (incomplete) and checked (complete) items, respectively.

To delete a status, click on the Trash icon. If a status used by a checklist item is deleted, the item will be displayed with either Open or Done status, depending on the "checked" property of the item.
