This page explains representation of the most common task states. More advanced task states are explained in the section <br />
'''[[Extended Task States| extended task states]]'''. Tasks can be '''[[#Underspecified Tasks|underspecified tasks]]''' <br />
or '''[[#Fully specified Tasks| fully specified tasks]]'''. At the end of this page we include a diagram to illustrate how the task state changes over time.<br />
<!--Every task state have a '''active''' and '''passive''' representation.<br />
Active representations are explained here. Passive representations visualized as fade out active representation.--><br/><br/><br />
<br />
==Underspecified Tasks==<br />
Tasks are underspecified when important information is missing, such as the start date or the owner (these are '''mandatory attributes'''). <br />
All underspecified tasks are shown<br />
with rings. The green portion of the ring represents the progress in adding the mandatory task attributes. Mandatory attributes <br />
are the task '''Type''', '''Progress''', '''Start date''', '''Target date''' and the '''Owner'''. <br />
Tasks missing other attributes such as '''Participants''' and '''Expertise''' are not considered underspecified, so they do not affect the ring symbol. <br />
<br />

This is the first task state after creation. A wiki page with the task name exists, but no mandatory attributes have been specified.<br />

===Task Specification in Progress===<br />
<table><br />
<tr><br />
<td>[[File:Docu_StateNormalMetaDataInProgress.png|30px]]</td><br />
<td style="vertical-align:middle"><br />
<p style="margin:0px;"><br />
A task has some attributes specified. The proportion of attributes specified is visualized in <br />
this state.<br />
</p><br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
<br />
==Fully specified Tasks==<br />
Tasks are fully specified when all mandatory attributes have been set. This state is shown with a pie chart. <br />
The grey part shows work left to be done as a percentage, and the green shows the work that has already been done. The colors can differ depending on <br />
the task state as we explain next.<br />

<td style="vertical-align:middle"><br />
<p style="margin:0px;"><br />
The task is not yet completed, but the target date is passed. It can also indicate that a subtask is not finished <br />
and the task target date is already passed.<br />

<table><br />
<tr><br />

<td style="vertical-align:middle"><br />
<p style="margin:0px;"><br />
The task is completed and its progress is set to 100 percent. The progress calculation depends on the task type.<br />
