Reorder statuses on a work item
When setting up your teams' workflows, you can change the order in which statuses appear on a work item. This makes transitions more obvious for your team.
You must have the following to do the things described on this page:
Role: Site admin
Permission: Administer projects
Access your workflow
From a company-managed project:
Select Settings (), then Work items.
Select Workflows, then find the workflow you want to update. Select More (•••), then Edit to open a diagram of your workflow in the workflow editor.
From a team-managed project:
Go to Project settings, then Work types, and select a work type.
Select Edit workflow.
Reorder statuses on a work item
The order of statuses have to be set manually on each transition. For each transition:
Select the transition, then select Properties.
Select Add new property.
In the Property key field, enter
opsbar-sequence.In the Property value field, enter a number (0 or greater). This property determines the order in which each transition (and status) displays. A lower number means the transition will display higher.
Select Add/Save.
Select Update Workflow. (Or, in the old editor Publish draft.)
