Using task status

The status of a task provides a clear, visual indication of where your task stands. In the Tasks list and other areas, the task status is indicated by the color of the checkbox.

Any team member or task follower can update the status of a task. When task status changes, all project team members and task followers are notified in the feed.

Here are the available statuses (and their icon color):   

	The task has been added and needs to be worked on. When a task is added and assigned to someone other than the task creator, its status is New.
	The person assigned to the task has accepted the task. If the person adding the task is also the assignee, the status is automatically Accepted.
	Green means go! The task is being worked on.
	The team is reviewing the task. See Changing the status to under review for more details.
	The team has reviewed the task.
	Something is blocking the task from being completed.
	The task is no longer required.
	The task has been deferred to a later time.
	The task is marked as complete and closed. If a task has subtasks, you can’t mark the task Complete until all its subtasks are marked Complete.

To change the status of a task:

1. Click on a task.
2. In task details, click the Status button next to the due date.
3. From the dropdown, you can select the status you want. 

Note: All status changes will produce a feed notification. 

Changing the status to Under Review

Use the Under Review status to request a review from your teammates.  You can select individual team members or the entire team for a review.  You can also add a comment or attach a file to your review request. (See Adding details to a task for the source of files you can attach to the task.)

1. From the status dropdown, select Under Review.
2. Fill out the form.
3. Click Submit for review.

Canceling a task 

When you select this option, any prior due date will be put on hold. This means, there will be no red indication if the task is overdue.

Marking a task as Complete

Let your team know when a task is done by checking it off. There are several ways to mark a task complete, but here’s the fastest way.

1. Find the task you want to complete.
2. Click the checkbox. 

Note: A task can’t be marked complete until all of its subtasks are also marked Complete.
