Managing Task Statuses at the Project Level in Astravue

Managing Task Statuses at the Project Level in Astravue

In Astravue, task statuses help you visualize and track the progress of tasks within a project. You can manage statuses using both Board View and List View. Here’s how you can do it:

What is a Status?

A status represents the current stage of a task (e.g., TO-DO, IN REVIEW, TESTING, BLOCKED). Statuses are fully customizable per project to match your workflow.

 Accessing Status Management

You can manage statuses from:

1. Board View (Kanban Style)

  • Navigate to your project and open the Tasks module.

  • Use the Group: Status filter to view tasks by their current status.

  • Each column represents a status (e.g., TO-DO, TESTING, BLOCKED).

  • Click on + ADD STATUS on the far right to create a new status.

  • Name your status (e.g., "In QA").

  • Click Save – it will appear as a new column.

                                                   

2. List View

  • Use the view switcher on the top-right to change to the list layout.

  • Locate the Status column.

  • Click the three-dot menu in the column header.

  • Select Edit Status to add, rename, delete, or reorder statuses.

                                                      


Editing or Reordering Statuses

  • In Board View, drag-and-drop status columns to reorder.

  • In List View, click Edit Status from the Status column’s menu to:

    • Rename existing statuses

    • Reorder statuses using drag handles

    • Delete unwanted statuses

✅ Best Practices

  • Keep statuses clear and action-oriented (e.g., "In Review" instead of "Waiting").

  • Assign default statuses like "TO-DO" to new tasks for consistency.
