The central area contains the task list. By clicking on the task you can get more information about the task and the current and posible status.

Available statuses

Below you can find the list of status in the possible order.

Note that when developers push code to Gerrit for review, the status will automatically change to Ready for Testing, in this way after the change is merged, tester team will know that there are new changes merged. So, developer does not need to manually change the status.

Statuses journey

• When task is created and assigned to developer the initial status is OPEN.
• Once the developers start to work in that task, MUST to change the status to IN PROGRESS.
• Once the commit related with the task is pushed to Gerrit, developer MUST to change the status to REVIEW
• The task will change to READY FOR TEST after the change is approved and merged. This happens because in the commit message developers need to specified the TaskId and the status that need to be set when change is merged, in this case READY FOR TEST.
• Once task is marked as TEST PASSED developers has nothing to do, becasuse is already tested and soon will be changed to DONE.
• Basically developers need to set the filter to show task with statuses OPEN and TEST FAILED, the first one is when task is created and assigned and second one is when the test fail even after merge the commit on Gerrit.

Task ID

The TaskId is very important because developers need to use it while execute the commit for Gerrit. You can find it in the Central Panel on Clickup as a column. Sometimes is not there but you can add it in the + button. More details below.
