| Task Status | Due Tasks | Open Tasks | Use |

| Not Started | yes | yes | - Initial Status (1) - Click on Reopen - the prerequisite was completed (2) |
| In Progress | yes | yes | |
| Completed | no | no | - Click on Complete |
| Deferred | no | yes | |
| Waiting on someone else | no | yes | - Task has a prerequisite (3) |
| custom status codes | Not Closed and where status does not contain "Waiting" or "Deferred" | Not Closed |
