### Setting a status

1\. To set the status of a Task, click on the task to bring out the **task sidebar**. Here, you will be able to **add details to your task.**

 

![View of the Task info.](https://support.ayoa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction2043104862590original_OUEefhWnRQz1ScYTdrlqGpusUP4cP55Kw.png?width=400&height=615&name=s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction2043104862590original_OUEefhWnRQz1ScYTdrlqGpusUP4cP55Kw.png)

 

### Updating Task progress

 

<iframe width="256" height="144.64" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NldvFFw96S0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen title="How to Change Progress Bar of a Task" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;"></iframe>

 

2\. Within the sidebar is a **progress bar**, which will allow you to **set the percentage of the Task that has been completed so far**

 

To set progress, simply **drag the slider** along until you reach the percentage that you would like to set. Alternatively, to indicate that the Task is in progress, simply click the **play icon** once. This will set progress to 5% - indicating that it has been started.

3\. To show that the Task has been started, choose **In progress**.

4\. Tasks can also be put on hold choosing **On hold**.

![Selecting on hold status and paused progress section.](https://support.ayoa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction2043083195826originalmqu0vqsyhXEdx8oQWyngN4fCMoJc95SIzg.png?width=400&height=127&name=s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction2043083195826originalmqu0vqsyhXEdx8oQWyngN4fCMoJc95SIzg.png)

 

5\. To complete a task, you can choose **Completed** from the status menu, or slide the progress bar all the way to the completed icon, or hit the tick icon next to the Task name. 

![Selected Completed status.](https://support.ayoa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction2043104863041originalu18oUiSy6oL6DWG2Sw2XNST6en7_DmDbNw.png?width=400&height=366&name=s3.amazonaws.comcdn.freshdesk.comdatahelpdeskattachmentsproduction2043104863041originalu18oUiSy6oL6DWG2Sw2XNST6en7_DmDbNw.png)

 

6\. Completed Tasks will remain on the Task Board unless you have the option to automatically archive these in  your AYOA Plan and have updated your settings to do so.
