Every project of your organisation progresses through a number of stages on their way to completion. Each one of these customisable stages can also have a customisable status to display the health and progress of the project more clearly.
You can for example have a project on Stage "Development" with a status of "ongoing":
or a completed project with a status of "Success":
You can fully customise the available statuses and outcomes in your organisation in the Statuses section of the company admin page:
Vizibl creates a number of default statuses and outcomes to help your organisation get started. These defaults can not be removed but you can choose not to include them in your project templates.
To create a new status or outcome simply click on the Create New button:
Set a name for the project status and choose an appropriate colour:
You can also choose to create a project outcome from this same window. Please note that Project outcomes are always shown in blue:
When you have created all the custom statuses and outcomes your organisation needs you can configure them when you Manage Project Templates. Here you can set which statuses and outcomes should be available for selection for the Project template. Each project stage in the template will then have the possibility of being set to one of these statuses. Every template needs a default status and if one is not set upon template creation then `Ongoing` and `Success` will automatically be set as the defaults:
You can include or exclude any statuses configured in the Status & Outcomes section for a project template, even the default ones, but please note that at least one status and one outcome is required for any project template.
