Project doesnt take over workflow

[Onur Cevik]

Hey!

When I create a new project, it doens´t take over the workflow. I have to click on board configuration to drag and drop the status of my workflow from the right column to the correct place. Does someone know the reason?

Hi @Onur Cevik ,

I am not quite sure I'm following you. It may be with the terminology that you're using? It would help to understand what type of project you are creating. Specifically, is this a company managed for team managed project you will find the answer to this in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen. Regardless, when you create a project using a template, it will come with one or more workflows. Now regarding boards, they may or may not exactly reflect The statuses that are part of the workflow. That is the columns may contain one or more statuses of the workflow. Also, the order of the columns are independent of the statuses and may be in an order that does not reflect what you really want. With all of this said, it would help to have more information. A screenshot of your board and your workflow would help.

At the right column you can see my statuses of my workflow. I have to drag them manually. Do you think it might be because these statuses used in other workflows?

[Onur Cevik]

@Jack Brickey And this is my workflow. So to explain it again. Why are my columns in the board not named like the statuses in my workflow? Why do i have to drag the statuses of my workflow into the respective columns in the board settings?

[Onur Cevik]

@Jack BrickeyI have read the documentation about columns. I have understand that the columns in picture one are named according to their default statuses. Does it mean, that I have to rename the columns manually?

[Jack Brickey]

If you want the columns to reflect precisely your statuses then simply rename them. Note that in your image you have several unmapped statuses in your workflow. If you wish issues in those statuses to appear then you will need to add columns for each and drag the statuses to their columns.

@Jack BrickeyThanks.

I would like to use the same workflow for future projects and it would be good if the names of the statuses were taken over automatically. It means that i would have to do this manually every time?

Workflows and boards are independent of each other in CMP projects unless you are using Software Simplified Workflow . You can certainly reuse the workflow in other projects. However, board configuration will need to be managed for each unique board.
