Reorder system-level and group statuses
As a Workfront administrator, you can change the order of project, task, and issue statuses for everyone in the system or for a single group.
- Reordering the statuses at the system level doesn’t affect the order of statuses within groups.
- You can reorder locked statuses. For information about locked statuses, see Create or edit a status.
- Group administrators can also reorder statuses used in their groups. For more information, see Reorder group statuses.
