Configure Status Field

Status Field helps you and your Team Members to visually present the status of your tasks. This way, you can easily differentiate between them and have clear insight into progress of your Team’s tasks.

Status is a predefined Field, so a Board can have only one Status Field. To label Items by priority, type, or category, use the Dropdown Field instead. Dropdown Fields work like the Status Field, but they don’t have a completed status.

Plaky offers 3 default status stages. These are:

• To do
• In progress
• Done

Status labels can be customized, and you can also add new ones, if you need.

To add/edit statuses:
