Setting up stages

Stages are used to define the stages in the work item life cycle - what we refer to as a work process.

To set up a stage

Create a record for each stage that you want to use in the work item life cycle (work process).

  1. Choose the 🔎 icon, enter Stages, and then choose the related link.
  2. Choose the New action.
  3. Fill in the fields as necessary.

Using stages on work items

When a work item is created, it’s assigned to the first stage in the work process of the project that matches the progress of the work item.

When the progress of a work item is changed, the system will automatically move the work item to the first stage in the work process that matches the new progress or when a work item is moved to a new stage, the system will automatically update the progress of the work item to match the progress of the new stage.
