Rename the transition...
Type a new Name for the transition.
This name will display as a link on cards that meet the card properties you specify here. It should describe the intent of the transition as succinctly as possible.
Choose a different card type...
You must specify a card type for the transition. Once you've chosen the type, Mingle will display the currently available properties for that card type so that you can configure the transition.
Choose different criteria properties...
Select the properties that a card must have for the transition to be made available, by clicking on the links and selecting the property values. Mingle will display the transition link for all cards that match this criteria.
Hidden properties will be highlighted, however they can be used in a transition in exactly the same way as visible properties as described below. To see the effect of a transition on hidden card properties you need to look at the history for that card.
For all property types
- (any) - is the default, and indicates that transition will be available for any value of the property.
- (not set) - indicates that the transition will only be available if the value for this property is (not set).
For team member properties
- (current user) - indicates that the transition will only be available if the value of the property is the currently logged in user.
For date properties
- (today) - indicates that the transition will only be available if the value of the property is the current date.
Assign different values to be set...
Select the card properties that will be set when team members click the card transition link, by clicking on the links and selecting the desired property values.
Here is where you can assign values to transition only properties as part of a transition, which otherwise cannot be modified unless the user is a project admin.
A transition must set at least one property, otherwise it would have no effect.
For all property types
- (no change) - is the default, and indicates that the property value will not be modified by the transition.
- (not set) - indicates that the property value will be discarded by the transition.
- (require user input) - will prompt the user to input a value for the property when they initiate the transition.
For team member properties
- (current user) - will assign the current user to the property, this will be the user who initiates the transition.
For date properties
- (today) - will assign the current date to the property, this will be the date at which the transition was initiated.
