Task Statuses are used to track each task's current status. If you track multiple task types, you can create a unique set of statuses for each type.
Go to Maintenance > Task > Task Statuses. Use the tools on the ribbon to add or delete a status, rearrange the order of the statuses, and print or export the task statuses list.
Task Status Maintenance
Task Type - Select the type of task the statuses will be associated with. Set up task types in Maintenance > Task > Task Types.
Description - Enter the name of the step you are creating.
Inactive - Mark a status as "inactive" if you no longer use it but have used it in the past.
Initial Status - Select the status that should be the default initial status of a task when it is created.
Final Status - Select the status that will indicate the task's final stage.
For each task status you can also set up various triggers to automatically
send emails and SMS text messages, print letters, generate phone calls,
or create additional tasks based on the task start date, due date, or
complete date, as well as on the status due date. See the "Task
Status Triggers" and "Triggers"
topics for more information.
