Set Milestones in a Workflow
Updated
Define Milestones to identify and delineate key phases in your workflow. Later, Milestones can also be pulled in the reporting to analyze what aspects of your workflow can be improved. In this guide, we will go over how to define milestones within a Workflow.
You can define the beginning of the phase by setting the “milestone” custom field to a specific value (for example, Milestone = Production). This can be achieved using the “Set Fields” component. Then all the tasks related to the phase will be defined after it. Finally, you define the end of the phase by using the “Set Milestone” component.
