Custom Workflows

Every project has its own workflow — a set of statuses that tasks move through. You can customize the statuses, their display order, and which transitions are valid.

Statuses

A status represents the current state of a task in the workflow. Each project starts with a default set of statuses, but you can add, rename, reorder, and remove them.

Status types

Every status maps to one of three categories:
CategoryMeaning
TodoWork not yet started. Tasks in this category count as backlog.
In ProgressWork actively in progress. Used for velocity calculations.
DoneCompleted work. Tasks in this category are excluded from SLA tracking.

Configuring statuses

Open the project → Settings → Statuses:
  1. Click + New Status to add a status
  2. Name it (e.g. “In Review”, “Blocked”, “Waiting on Customer”)
  3. Select the category (Todo / In Progress / Done)
  4. Choose a color
  5. Drag to reorder — status order matches the board column order

Task types

Task types let you categorize different kinds of work in a project. Each task type can have custom fields attached to it. Default task types: Task, Bug, Story, Epic Admins can define additional global task types under Admin → Task Types, which become available across all projects.

Admin: Global task types

In Admin → Task Types, administrators can define organization-wide task types with:
  • Custom name and icon
  • Required and optional custom fields
  • Default priority
Space-level task types can also be defined per Space to complement the global set.
