What's the Status?👀

The Status column is a set of customizable labels that can represent anything from task progress to stages of the sales pipeline.

Clicking into the status of an item will display the 4 default labels: 1. Open, 2. Working on it, 3. Stuck, 4. Done.

These labels can be customized to indicate details about your project such as:

  • Task Progress: Open, Working on it, Stuck, Done

  • Project Milestones: Upcoming, Delayed, Achieved, Pending

  • Priority Levels: High, Medium, Low

  • Approval Stage: Pending Approval, Approved, Rejected

  • Issue Tracking: Open, Resolved, Closed

  • Customized Workflows: To-do, In Review, Testing, Ready for Deployment

  • Client Feedback: Pending feedback, Approved, Revisions Needed

  • Content Creation: Draft, Editing, Finalized

  • Lead Management: Contacted, Interested, Not Interested

  • Sales Pipeline: Prospecting, Negotiation, Won, Lost

To customize statuses:

  1. Add a status column to your board

  2. Click the ellipses next to 'Status'

  3. Navigate to 'Settings'

  4. Add (status) labels by selecting 'New Label'

  5. Click the 'X' next to a label to remove the status

  6. Click the color next to a status to change how it will look on your board

✅Select a color to indicate when an item is completed. If your labels are unique and do not include a 'Done' or 'Completed' label, opt for the label that signifies the optimal or desired outcome.

This selection will impact other board functions such as the setting to hide completed (or 'Done') items and automations that include status changes.
