Manage Workflows Step by Step

What this does

This guide explains how to update statuses and workflow behavior without confusing users or breaking reporting consistency.

Before you begin

Review:
  • the current statuses in use
  • the teams or modules affected
  • any dashboards, automation rules, or reports that depend on those statuses

Steps

  1. Open Organization or Team settings.
  2. Go to the workflow or status management area.
  3. Select the entity type you want to manage.
    • examples: incidents, changes, service requests, stories, tasks
  4. Review the current workflow states.
  5. Decide whether you need to:
    • add a new state
    • rename a state
    • retire a state
  6. Make the workflow change.
  7. Save the update.
  8. Open the related module.
  9. Confirm the new or updated status appears in:
    • create forms
    • edit forms
    • list filters
    • board columns where applicable
  10. Review any automation rules that may rely on the old status values.

What happens next

Workflow changes affect:
  • how users move work forward
  • what appears in dashboards
  • how automation conditions match
  • how status-based reports behave

Tips

  • Change workflow labels carefully after adoption.
  • Avoid frequent status changes unless the process is still evolving.
  • Review downstream automations after workflow updates.
