Statuses and labels

Statuses describe where a mission is. Labels (shown as Tags on a mission) describe what it is about.

Statuses#

Statuses belong to a project, so each project can have its own workflow. Every status has a category: Not started, Active, Done or Cancelled. The category, not the name, decides what counts as open, overdue or finished, so progress, deadlines, reports and notifications keep working with your own names.

BlockedActive

ShippedDone

New status name, e.g. BlockedAdd status

A project always keeps at least one Not started and one Done status.

Manage a project's statuses#

1. Open Settings, then Statuses & labels. You can also open a project and choose Statuses in its left menu.
2. Under Statuses, use Project to choose which project to edit.
3. To add one, type a name in New status name, e.g. Blocked, choose its Category and press Add status.
4. Rename, recolour and reorder statuses in the list.
5. Press Make default on the status new missions should start in. The current one is marked Default.

Who can do this: Owners, Admins and Managers.

Delete a status safely#

If missions still use a status, Missions shows how many and asks for a Replacement status. They move there, so nothing is lost or left without a status.

Labels#

Labels are shared across the whole workspace. Under Labels in the same settings page:

• Add label: type a New label name, e.g. Urgent.
• Edit label: rename or recolour it. The change applies everywhere at once, and missions keep the label. You can add a description such as "When to use this label".
• Merge labels: pick Merge into another label. Missions with the old one get the other.
• Delete label: it is removed from every mission that had it.

Each action shows how many missions are affected before you confirm. Limits on statuses and labels depend on your plan, see Pricing.
