• Feature

Here at AtmosAI, we aim to provide you with a user-friendly, visually appealing interface for managing everything in a single location. Our Status Column is essential for planning, organizing, and monitoring your team’s work according to status labels. Easily determine whether a task is incomplete, in progress, complete, or any other desired status!

Add the Column

To add the Status Column, click the “+New” at the far right of the column section and select Status from the dropdown menu.

Edit the labels 

Click on a Status column cell, then click on the Edit Labels icon at the bottom of the page; now edit the workflow-specific Status labels! As per your requirements.

Here, you can modify the Status labels’ order, text, and color, as well as add as many labels as you like. Choose from over 30 different color options, and remember to click “Apply” when you’re done.

 

 Note: Please take note that when you first make an item, the label will be displayed in a default gray color. Assigning a Status to the gray could cause confusion among your team. 

Specify which labels are “completed.”

You can choose the labels that assign a Status as “done” for each of your boards. To access Settings, click the three dots in the upper-right corner of your Status Column. Click “Customize Status column”. Select the color or colors you wish to associate with the completed items.

Tip: Utilize automation to optimize your productivity! Easily configure an automation to notify your team, for instance, when a Status is modified. Read this article for more information and get inventive with workflow-enhancing automations! 

Add a column summary to show the progress.

Add a column summary to your Status Column so that you can observe the status at a glance. To access Settings, click the three dots at the upper right of the column and select “Show column summary.”

 

You have the option of displaying a thumbnail of completed tasks or all Status labels in the column summary. Simply click on the column summary and make your selection!

Communicate within the Status box

Enhance your team’s communication by directly corresponding in the Status Column! To comment on a particular Status, click the icon in the upper right corner of any Status box.

The Status Update will also be featured in the Updates portion of the item!

 Note: If you replace a Status label with an Update, the Update will vanish from the Status box but remain in the Updates section of the item.
