Understanding Easy Buttons
What Are Easy Buttons?
Easy Buttons are customizable action buttons that execute predefined task updates. They are especially useful in environments where quick changes are needed, such as:
- Project management
- Support and ticket handling
- Workflow automation
Examples of actions that Easy Buttons can perform:
- Change task status (e.g., from “New” to “In Progress”)
- Assign one or multiple team members to a task
- Move a task to a specific sprint or tracker
Why Use Easy Buttons?
- Speed: Update tasks instantly with one click
- Convenience: Avoid repetitive manual input
- Consistency: Apply standardized task updates across teams
Important Considerations
- Easy Buttons bypass workflows and validations. For example:
- If a button moves a task to a sprint that is not available for its project, it will still succeed
- Buttons will execute actions even if the current user’s permissions would normally block those actions
- Use with caution—ensure buttons align with team workflows and role-based permissions
Conclusion
Easy Buttons provide a simple, fast, and efficient way to automate frequent task updates. While extremely helpful, administrators should be mindful of their power and ensure they are used in a way that supports proper project workflows and controls.
