# Project Settings

Settings are project-specific. Open them from the Status Aging project page.

![Settings overview](/files/OSXqvRsyRSGVzFrgIbHs)

## Baseline Mode

Baseline mode controls how Status Aging treats issues that existed before setup.

See [First Run Baseline](/status-aging-alerts-time-in-status/first-run-baseline.md) for the full explanation.

## Scan Scope

Scan scope controls which active issues and workflow statuses are included.

![Scan scope settings](/files/ez52LPOKnn1wDDrSjr5Q)

| Setting                       | Description                                                                     |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Default status limit**      | Default threshold used when a status has no custom rule.                        |
| **Max active issues to scan** | Maximum active issues scanned for the project. The current beta maximum is 200. |
| **Skip Jira Done category**   | Excludes completed work from active status aging checks.                        |
| **Statuses to ignore**        | Comma-separated Jira status names that should not trigger status aging alerts.  |

## Status Thresholds

Use status thresholds to override the default limit for specific statuses.

![Status threshold rules](/files/T7ubcs9QmD9X7Bg599Rp)

Example setup:

| Status             | Overdue after |
| ------------------ | ------------: |
| Code Review        |           24h |
| QA                 |           48h |
| Blocked            |           24h |
| Waiting for Client |          120h |

Each rule can be enabled, disabled, removed, or edited.

## At-Risk Timing

At-risk timing controls when an issue becomes **At Risk** before it becomes **Overdue**.

Example:

```
At-risk starts at 70% of the threshold
```

If the threshold is 10 hours:

| Time in status | Health   |
| -------------: | -------- |
|      0h-6h 59m | On Track |
|      7h-9h 59m | At Risk  |
|           10h+ | Overdue  |

## Jira Notifications

Jira notification settings control whether alerts stay in-app, go out as limited direct notifications, or arrive as a daily digest.

See [Jira Notifications](/status-aging-alerts-time-in-status/jira-notifications.md) for details.
