Select the status for the Artist board page

When you assign a task to an artist, they will see it on their to-do page when they log in.

But they can also choose to display their task as a board view. Each Status will be a column, and the assigned task is a card that can be moved from status to status depending on the task's progress.

To setup the board view, you need to go to the settings page of your production.

Then go to the Task Status tab. You will see a list of the statuses used in your production.

It will be the same status used as the column on the board page. You can drag and move the statuses to change their order as they appear on the board view.

The next step is with the Board Status page.

Depending on the permission, you can choose which status will be displayed on the Board page.

Once it's done, your artist should have a page like this.
