You can create statuses like Waiting for Client Input, In QA Review, or Blocked to represent stages specific to your process.<\/p>\n<h2>Configuring Custom Statuses<\/h2>\n<p>Navigate to Project Settings > Task Status to add, edit, or reorder statuses. Each custom status is mapped to one of three system states: Open, In Progress, or Closed. This mapping determines how Zoho Projects counts completion percentages and reports on workload.<\/p>\n<h2>Kanban and Blueprint Integration<\/h2>\n<p>Custom statuses appear as columns on the Kanban board and as states in Blueprint process definitions. Investing time in custom status design upfront makes both the Kanban board and Blueprint workflows more meaningful and easier for team members to use correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>User-defined task status labels in Zoho Projects that supplement or replace default statuses to reflect an organisation&#8217;s specific workflow stages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Custom Status (Projects) | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"User-defined task status labels in Zoho Projects that supplement or replace default statuses to reflect an organisation's specific workflow stages.","seo_keyword":"custom status zoho projects","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1253],"class_list":["post-4969","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/4969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=4969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
