Customizing idea statuses for your workflow

You can create custom statuses that match your team's development workflow. Each status has a name and color that appears on your public Ideas Board. Statuses are also the swimlanes on your public roadmap.

Creating a new status

1. Go to Settings → Statuses

2. Click Create Status

3. Enter a name (up to 80 characters)

4. Choose a color from the picker

5. Click save

Managing statuses

You can reorder statuses by dragging them into position. The order determines how they appear in filters and dropdowns.

To edit or delete a status, click the edit icon next to it. Deleting a status removes it from all ideas.

Best practices

• Keep status names short and clear for users

• Use distinct colors to help ideas stand out

• Limit statuses to 5-7 core stages in your workflow
