# Setting up statuses, labels and priorities > Rename, recolor and reorder your task statuses, choose what each one counts as, and manage labels. How photographers set up CoreHue tasks to fit their workflow. Source: https://help.corehue.co/docs/tasks/statuses-labels-and-priorities/ Statuses are the columns your tasks move through, labels are tags for the kind of work, and priorities flag what matters most. Statuses and labels are yours to shape in **Projects → Settings**, each on its own tab. A simple rule keeps things tidy: statuses say where a task is, labels say what it's about. "Waiting" is a status. "Album" is a label. ## Statuses You start with **To do**, **In progress**, **Waiting**, **Done** and **Cancelled**. Each row shows how many tasks use it. ### Adding or changing a status 1. Go to **Projects → Settings** and open the **Statuses** tab. 2. Choose **New status**. 3. Enter a **Name** and pick a **Color**. 4. Choose **Create**. Click any status to rename or recolor it. Drag the handle on the left to change the order, which is the order of the columns on every board. You can have up to 20. You can also add a status on the spot from any status menu, on a card or in a task, by choosing **New status** at the bottom. ### What a status counts as Every status counts as **Unfinished**, **Completed** or **Cancelled**. That's what decides whether its tasks show on **Up next** or **Done**, and whether they can go overdue. New statuses count as **Unfinished**. A saved view can filter on this too, with **Outcome**, so it keeps up when you add statuses. See [Saving task views](/docs/tasks/saving-task-views). To change it: 1. Choose the three dots beside the status. 2. Choose **Change outcome**. 3. Pick what it **Counts as**. 4. Check how many tasks it affects, then choose **Apply**. Renaming a status never changes what it counts as, so turning **Done** into "Delivered" is safe. ### The default status The status marked **Default** is where new tasks start, and where a task goes when you reopen it. To change it, choose the three dots beside an unfinished status, then **Make default**. The default always has to count as unfinished. **Complete** on a task sends it to your first completed status in the list, so keep the one you use most at the top of the completed ones. ### Deleting a status Choose the three dots, then **Delete**. CoreHue won't delete a status that's your default, that tasks are still in, or that a saved view filters on. Move its tasks to another status, or edit the view, first. ## Labels You start with **Editing**, **Delivery**, **Prints**, **Album** and **Follow-up**. A task can carry up to 20, and you can have up to 100 in all. Manage them on the **Labels** tab of **Projects → Settings**. - Choose **New label** to add one, or create it from any task's **Labels** menu by typing a new name. - Click a label to rename or recolor it. The new name shows on every task straight away. - Deleting a label takes it off every task it was on. If a saved view filters on it, edit the view first. Most photographers add a few for the rest of the business, like Admin, Gear and Marketing, and maybe one for a busy season, like Mini sessions. When something needs exactly one answer per task, like which deliverable it's for, a field fits better than a label. See [Adding fields to your tasks](/docs/tasks/adding-task-fields). ## Priorities Priorities are fixed at four levels: **Urgent**, **High**, **Normal** and **Low**, or none. They show as small signal bars on each card: one bar for **Low**, two for **Normal** and three for **High**. **Urgent** is a red square with an exclamation mark, and no priority shows as three short dashes. **Urgent** shows in red. Use them sparingly. If half your board is urgent, nothing is. Sort by **Priority** to bring the most important work to the top, see [Sorting, filtering and searching tasks](/docs/tasks/sorting-filtering-and-searching-tasks). ## Frequently asked questions ### Do my status changes apply to projects too? Yes. You have one set of statuses, used on the **Tasks** page, every saved view and every project's **Tasks** tab. Project stages are separate, see [How projects work](/docs/projects/how-projects-work). ### Can I rename or add priority levels? No. The four levels are fixed so they sort the same way everywhere. Use labels or a field for anything else you want to track. ### Can two labels have the same name? No. Each label name can only be used once, so you won't end up with two "Editing" labels splitting your tasks.
