Overview
Task status configuration allows you to determine how quickly a task will generate, become overdue, and become critically overdue from its due date. This is always calculated in days.
This article covers the types of task statuses.

Green Task Status
Green task status is the number of days before a task’s due date that the task will generate.
The green task status configuration can only be configured for PMs, because PMs are the only regularly scheduled task type in Limble.
For example, if you add "10" as the number, your PM would generate 10 days prior to its due date. So, if your PM was due on the 18th of November, the PM would generate on the 8th of November - 10 days prior to the due date.
To update the PM's task status configuration, click on the Settings button with a gear icon in a PM template to access the settings.
Orange Task Status
Orange task status is the number of days after a task’s due date that the task will be considered overdue. By default, the value is set to "1 day after." This means one day after the due date, the task will turn orange.
You can customize this to be more days if you wish. For example, if you updated the status to "3 days after," then the task would be considered overdue if it was not completed within 3 days of the task's due date.
Red Task Status
Red task status is the number of days after a task’s due date that the task will be considered critically overdue.
The default setting is "2 days after." This means two days after the due date, the task will turn red.
You can customize this to be more or less days if you wish. For example, if you updated the status to "7 days after," then the task would be considered overdue if it was not completed within 7 days of the task's due date.
On the Manage Work page, you can see the number of days a task is away from its due date along with the corresponding task status color.
