Work on a task (task status)

The task status was created in order to track the progress of a task. It allows the manager of the task and other users to stay informed about how the assigned user is doing. For that, there are 3 statuses in which a task can be:

  1. Inactive
  2. In progress
  3. Done

Each status can be visible by other users, in the task lists in the dashboard and project functions sidebar. Each status has its own color.

Switching between statuses is only done by the user. It is not possible for the tasks' manager to interfere with it.

info

It is recommended to switch between the task statuses for most seamless cooperation withnin project(s).

1. Inactive​

When a task is created, it is automatically flagged as "inactive". Whenever a task is not being worked on, and is not done yet, it is always flagged as "inactive".

2. In progress​

A task is supposed to be flagged as "in progress" when the user is actively working on it. It does not have to be completed once flagged as "in progress", as there are options to pause the process and to resume the work.
