Box lifecycle (Objectives module)
The Box status determines whether you are able to edit items assigned to that Box and If the Actual Business Values column appears.
You can set the status of each Box as one of the following:
Not started (grey) - it will be executed in the future, so it is still in the planning phase,
In progress (blue) - it is currently in execution,
Closed (green) - it has already finished.
When the status is changed to 'Closed' you will not be able to edit the Box information or change the Box configuration.
Changing Box status in the Roadmap module:
drop-down in the 'information' pop-up
right-click on a sub-Box name
Transitions
All the following transitions between statuses are allowed:
Not started → In progress and vice versa
In progress/Not started → Closed and vice versa
When you complete the work and want to close the Box, you will be prompted to decide what to do with the remaining open objectives once it is already closed:
Mark open objectives as failed and continue
Mark open objectives as abandoned
Do not modify the status of open objectives
All objectives previously marked as "Failed" will remain in a given status after reopening the Box. These objectives will also be automatically cloned and added to the next Box with the status "Open".
Closing an upper-level Box means that all the sub-Boxes of that Box will also be closed.
