Manage your Task Status

Change the status of a Task on the Task Board easily on any Task Board view, When viewed using the Status Board view, the Task Board will list Tasks according to their current status. Statuses are used to report on a Task's current status. A Status will show whether the task has been assigned to a person, if that person has accepted the task, started it, or completed it.  

The available statuses are:

• Unassigned: Tasks that have not yet been assigned to a user.

• Pending: Tasks that have been assigned to a user, but have not been Accepted by that user.

• Accepted: Tasks that the assignee has accepted.

• Started: Tasks that the assignee has started work on.

• Completed: Tasks that the assignee has completed.
