Create custom project status

You can create custom project status that best defines that status of your projects based on your business requirement.

There're default status options available.
  1. Planning
  2. In Progress
  3. Quote
  4. Negotiation
  5. Implementation
  6. Completed
  7. Closed
  8. Abandoned
But if your project management process has unique or specific statuses that you need to track, you can create new status. 


  1. You cannot edit or delete default status options.
  2. You need to have a profile that includes permission to manage workspace settings to access this customization.
