Statuses

In Time Stream, assigning a task status keeps your workload and gives you a clearer view of how to approach your tasks.

You can manage status settings by creating new statuses, editing existing statuses, deleting abandoned statuses or re-arranging the order of statuses. Each Collection has its own set of statuses, allowing you to customize workflows for different projects.

Statuses belong to a specific collection. When you switch collections, you'll see different statuses appropriate to that collection's workflow.

Create a new status

Here is a user guide for creating a new status:

Select the collection where you want to add the status using the collection dropdown.
Click on the Settings (the gear) icon at the top right corner of Timestream, and select Manage statuses.
Click Create a new status.
In the pop-up modal, enter a label and choose a colour for the new status.
Optionally, select a category (Active or Complete) to enable the quick complete check button for tasks.
Click Save.

Status categories

Statuses can be assigned a category to enable helpful features:

None: Regular status with no special behavior.
Active: For work in progress or upcoming tasks.
Complete: For finished or done tasks.

When a collection has both Active and Complete statuses, tasks display a check button for quickly marking them complete.

Arrange the order of your statuses

You can manage the order of your status using the up/down arrow on each status. Re-order your status so that they make the most sense to you, i.e. 'Up next', followed by 'In progress', followed by 'Done', etc. When creating a new task, you will see the statuses in the order you choose here so that you may place your most used status at the top of your status list.

Edit a status

Here is a user guide for editing an existing status:

Click on the kebab menu to the right of the status you want to edit, and select Edit from the dropdown.
Edit the label or colour on the pop-up modal.
Click Save.

Delete a status

You can delete statuses that are not applicable to you anymore to keep your status list neat.

Here is a user guide for deleting a status

Click on the kebab menu to the right of the status you want to delete, and select Delete from the dropdown.
