Delete a group status

Click the Main Menu icon in the upper-right corner of Adobe Workfront, or (if available), click the Main Menu icon in the upper-left corner, then click Setup .

In the left panel, click Groups.

Click the name of the top-level group.

In the left panel click Statuses.

In the list of statuses that displays, hover over the status you want to delete, then click Delete when it appears to the far right.

In the box that displays, select a status to designate a replacement status for objects (projects, tasks, issues, and approval processes) that were using the status that you are deleting.

Only statuses that equate with the status you are deleting are available. For example, if you are deleting a status that equates with Current, you can see only statuses that equate with Current.

Also, the statuses that display depend on whether the status you are deleting is unlocked or locked:

• If it’s unlocked: Non-hidden locked and unlocked statuses are available.

  Along with the statuses that were created for the subgroup, statuses inherited from system-level and upper level groups are included.

• If it’s locked: One of the following is true:

  • If there are other locked, non-hidden statuses, only those are available.

  • If there is no locked non-hidden status, the default Workfront status is available, even if it’s hidden or unlocked.

    For information about the default Workfront statuses, see Access the list of system project statuses, Access the list of system task statuses, and the information about the 4 required issue statuses in Access the list of system issue statuses.

Click Delete Status.

If the deleted status was the default status for that type in the group, the replacement status takes its place.

If the deleted status was set as the default project status in project preferences, the preference is now set to the replacement status.
