The **Administration → Workspace settings → Task settings** section lets you adapt the ticket system to your company's individual workflows. Configure **task types, statuses, activities, and fields** to reflect internal processes precisely and bring greater clarity, efficiency, and flexibility to day-to-day project work.

This article provides **a topic-by-topic overview** of all customization options.

Each topic introduced here—**task types**, **statuses**, **work activities**, **custom fields**, and **task templates**—has a **dedicated, detailed article** with specific instructions and examples.

## Task types

Task types define which kinds of tickets exist in the system, such as *feature*, *bug*, or *support case*.

Each type can have its own properties:

- Individual **statuses** (for example, "In review" or "Approval required")
- Custom **work activities** (for example, "Development" or "Testing")
- Custom **fields** to capture specific information

This structure lets you adapt ticket types to different departments or teams.

## Task status

Statuses represent the progress of a task or ticket. By default, statuses such as

- *New*,
- *In progress*,
- *Feedback*,
- *Done* and
- *Closed*

are predefined.

Companies can extend or adapt this list to represent their own workflows, for example, by adding review steps or intermediate phases.

## Work activities

Work activities are used for time entries. They show **which type of work** was performed on a ticket.

Examples:

- *Development* (for developers)
- *Management* (for project leads)
- *Design* or *Testing* (for specialist teams)

You can add activities that represent company-specific work and make time tracking more precise.

## Custom fields

You can add **special fields to tickets of particular task types** beyond the standard fields. These **custom fields** support the **structured capture and analysis of information** relevant to specific processes or departments.

Examples of such fields include:

- Priority by customer group or contract type
- Reference numbers from external systems
- Technical parameters or version details
- Checkboxes for internal approvals
- Dropdowns for classifications, responsibilities, or error categories

Each field can have an individual name and configuration, such as a text field, selection field, or number input.

Custom fields make it possible to capture and analyze tickets systematically instead of storing information only as free text in the description. As a result, **data is more consistent, reports are more meaningful**, and **processes are easier to automate**.

## Task templates

Templates let you create recurring tasks quickly and consistently. They contain all important fields, descriptions, and selection options.

This saves time, promotes complete entries, and makes tasks easier for external users.

## AI support for ticket creation

Additional settings at the bottom of the page let you **enable or disable AI support for ticket creation**.

When enabled, Leadtime automatically generates:

- a task **title** based on the description,
- a **short description** (summary) based on the entered text,
- a **matching icon** that visually represents the task's content.

These automations save time and keep tickets consistent, clear, and well structured.
