Customizing Your Project Status List

Overview
Define exactly which statuses your projects can have (e.g. “In Progress,” “On Hold,” “Finished”) and set the default.

Where to Find It
Work › Settings › Project Settings › Project Status Settings (second tab)

Steps to Manage Statuses

• Add a New Status

  1. Click Add Status.

  2. Enter a name and pick a color.

  3. Save.

• Edit an Existing Status

  1. Click Edit next to the status.

  2. Update name or color.

  3. Save.

• Delete a Status

  1. Click Delete next to any non‑default status.

Best Practices

• Keep your status list short and meaningful.

• Reserve “Finished” or “Canceled” for truly closed projects.
