Accessing the workflow settings
You can access the workflow settings by selecting Data Mapping from the main menu.
The workflow settings show the automatically detected workflow on your GitLab board. To adjust the mapping, drag & drop the states between the three boxes:
Not started = Work to be done
In progress = Work started but not completed
Done = Completed work
Consider your work done only when tasks are fully done, so map your testing/review/waiting states to In progress rather than Done. That provides you with a better picture of your cycle times, including all the reviews that need to be done before a task is complete.
