New Task Statuses & RAG Ratings

In this latest feature release we have added task statuses and RAG ratings to your tasks. These are quick and easy to apply, providing a new level of task and project controls. Watch the video below to see an overview of this new feature or read on to learn the basics:

Task Status

Team members with view access can change the status of any task that is either unassigned or assigned to them. Members with edit or manage access can assign a status to any task.

A task can have a status of:

• Not started (this is the default and all new tasks will be added with this status)
• In progress
• On hold (if any task in your element is on hold, this will set a notification icon on the element and task area progress bars)
• Complete (ticking a task will automatically set it to the complete status)

If an element has any tasks set to a status of on hold, it will show an exclamation mark icon on your task progress bars.

RAG Rating

Team members with view access can also change the RAG rating of any task that is either unassigned or assigned to them. Members with edit or manage access can assign a RAG rating to any task. A task can have a RAG rating of:

• Green
• Amber
• Red
• None (this is the default and all new tasks have no RAG rating set)

Tasks assigned to you are highlighted with a coloured border to make your to do quick and easy to identify.

Task status and RAG ratings will shortly be available within your tasks dashboard and task logs. If you have any feedback on this feature, or any feedback on Method Grid in general, please get in touch on our community or by emailing help@methodgrid.com.
