Task details

Basic task detail

For each task, the project task list displays the following information:

Attribute Description Note

Status

Indicates whether the task is "TODO" (the task is incomplete), "Done" (the task is complete), or "Not Applicable" (the task does not apply to this project).

  • Additional statuses may be present if an administrator has customized the list of Task statuses.

  • Permission required to change task status: Project Roles→Tasks→Change task status

Priority

Score that indicates how important the task is relative to other tasks. 10 is the highest and 1 is the lowest.

Use the Priority to help select which tasks to carry out if you do not have enough time to do all of them. Agile teams can use the priority field to help enter SD Elements task appropriately into the backlog.

Title

The title of the task. The number, such as "T133", is the unique number of the Task in SD Elements.

Verification

The verification "ribbon" on the right side of the task indicates its verification status: pass, partial pass, or fail, as discussed below.

Clicking the ribbon will open up a small verification "widget", where the user can manually set the verification status of a task. See Expanded task detail for more information.
