Edit Category

This topic describes additional category properties (Task Management->Categories->Edit tab).

Edit Category allows you to adjust various parameters of the categories. The table on the left (possible subcategories) allows you to specify which categories can be set as subcategories of the current one. For example, you can specify that inside projects it is possible to create other projects, tasks and bugs, but a bug cannot have a project as its subtask.

The table on the right allows you to specify which groups of users can create their own tasks in this category, as well as edit and delete them.

You can select possible actions for users of all available status for a task category

If you don't have access rights to the parent task of the category, you can't change already defined lists of possible subcategories and user status permissions. But you can create your own (lower-level) categories and user statuses and expand the category definition for it.
