Default Task Statuses

  • Backlog: When a task is assigned to a user, its status is set to New by default and appears in the Backlog list.
  • Work: Once the user starts working on the task, update the status to Work, and it will move to the In Progress list.
  • Test: When the task is completed and in its final stage, change the status to Testing, and it will be added to the Testing list.
  • Done: After confirming the task is fully completed, update the status to Done. The task will then appear in the Done list.

Adding New Statuses


If you need additional task statuses in your org, please contact your Salesforce Administrator. New statuses can only be added from the back end, as there is no option to create them from the front end.

In an upcoming upgraded version of the TimeTracker application, administrators will have the ability to add new statuses directly from the UI.
