Configuring Common Work Item Statuses

Constraints

• The New and Closed statuses cannot be deleted.
• A maximum of 50 common statuses can be customized.

Prerequisites

• You have created a Scrum project. For details, see Creating a CodeArts Project.
• An IAM user has been added to the project. For details about how to add members, see Adding CodeArts Project Members.

• You have permissions to custom work items. For details about how to set permissions, see Managing CodeArts Project Permissions.

Procedure

1. Access the CodeArts Req homepage.
2. Go to a Scrum project and choose Settings > Work Item.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Common Statuses. Click Add Status and add work item statuses (for example, CommonStatus 1) by referring to Table 1.

   Table 1 Status parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Status	Status name. The value can contain 2 to 15 characters, including letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
   Status Category	Select a value from the drop-down list, including To do, Doing, and Done.
   Description	The status description contains a maximum of 100 characters.

   • The added status is displayed in the status list, including the name, description, category, and usage.

   • Common statuses can be deleted.

4. Add an existing common status (for example, CommonStatus1) for a work item. Custom common statuses can be configured and used for all types of work items of the current project.

   The following uses a story status as an example:

   1. In the left navigation pane, choose Stories > Statuses and Transitions.

      On the Statuses tab page, click Add Existing Status. In the Status drop-down list, select CommonStatus1 and click OK.

   2. In the Work Item > Req > Work Items list, click next to the Status column header. You can see that CommonStatus 1 can be used in the story work item.

      

5. (Optional) After the configuration is complete, click Save as Template in the upper right corner of the page. In the Save as Template dialog box, enter a template name and description, and click OK. This template can be used to create Scrum projects. See the following figure.
