Task Flow¶
The Task Flow workflow helps you proceed through phases of work on the task. The available options depend on the current status of the task.
Note
The Task Flow is a system workflow and cannot be edited or deleted.

The following table describes which options are available for each of the statuses and how the corresponding transitions change the task status.

| Click Close to close the task. | Closed | |
