The Problem
- You want to set up and manage the stages for each project.
- In the Kanban view of the Project management app, when you group the tasks by other criteria, you won't be able to tell which stage the tasks are in.
- E.g. You group the task by Assignees, in this case, the stage columns are replaced by the Assignees. But with each assignee, how many tasks are new? How many tasks are done? You won't be able to tell.
- The project manager is unable to control the Kanban states of project tasks when they change.
- This module complements and modifies the Project module rights to better suit management and collaboration.
The Solution
- Add the Stages tab to the Project detail view, which allows you to configure the stages for each project right on the Project detail.
- This module allows you to set a color for each stage, when a task is moved to a new stage, it will be marked with the color of that stage. Therefore, when you group the tasks by other criteria, you can tell which stage the tasks are in.
- Allows project manager to be notified of any changes to kanban states of project tasks.
- Show Project in Project Update form view.
- Modify the Project module permissions to the new set of permissions as follows:
- Internal user without rights on Project module (as Employee):
- Can view the Project root menu entry;
- Can view projects whose tasks are assigned to them to track;
- Cannot create/edit/delete tasks but can change the Kanban state of the Task.
- Project/User:
- Can do everything with the projects to which they are assigned as the project manager if granted full permission by the Project Administrator;
- Can do everything with the tasks inside the project to which they are assigned as the project manager;
- As for other projects and tasks, they will have the same access rights as the other internal users.
