Reorder statuses on a work item

When setting up your teams' workflows, you can change the order in which statuses appear on a work item. This makes transitions more obvious for your team.

You must have the following to do the things described on this page:

Role: Site admin

Permission: Administer spaces

Access your workflow

From a company-managed space:

  1. Select Settings (), then Work items.

  2. Select Workflows, then find the workflow you want to update. Select More actions (•••), then Edit to open a diagram of your workflow in the workflow editor.

From a team-managed space:

  1. Go to Space settings, then Work types, and select a work type.

  2. Select Edit workflow.

Reorder statuses on a work item

The order of statuses have to be set manually on each transition. For each transition:

  1. Select the transition, then select Properties.

  2. Select Add new property.

  3. In the Property key field, enter opsbar-sequence .

  4. In the Property value field, enter a number (0 or greater). This property determines the order in which each transition (and status) displays. A lower number means the transition will display higher.

  5. Select Add/Save.

  6. Select Update Workflow. (Or, in the old editor Publish draft.)
