How to manage task status templates in Astravue

Astravue gives you the flexibility to define custom task statuses based on how your team works. Whether you're managing support tickets, onboarding customers, or running agile,  you can use or customize task status templates to match your workflow.

What You Can Do with Task Status Templates

You can:

  • Use existing templates

  • Add new statuses to any template

  • Create a brand-new template from scratch

These templates can be applied globally when creating a new space, ensuring consistency across projects.

Available Templates

Astravue provides several built-in templates, such as:

  • Default Status

  • Support

  • Marketing

  • Scrum

  • Onboarding

  • Issue Tracker

You can choose any of these when setting up your space or project.

✅ Default Status Template

When you select the Default Status template, you'll see:

Open:

  • 🟦 OPEN

  • 🟨 IN-PROGRESS

  • 🔴 ON-HOLD

Closed:

  • 🟢 COMPLETED

You can easily add more statuses under Open or Closed sections as needed.

➕ How to Add a New Status

  1. Select the template you want to use or edit.

  2. Under the “Open” or “Closed” section, click + Add status.

  3. Name your new status (e.g., “Waiting for Review” or “QA Testing”).

  4. Choose a color to help visually organize your workflow.

  5. Save and continue.
