Using the issue tracking module

When you first want to use the Issue Tracking module, e.g. to register and track bugs or issues for your project, you should first define the custom fields you need for your project.

Follow these steps to easily set up the Issue Tracking module to suit your needs:

  • Start by clicking "+" next to your project in the left menu.
  • Click "+" next to "Issue tracking" in the left menu.
  • Click "New issue". You now see the standard information for an issue.
  • Click "Custom fields" at the top to define the information you need for your issue tracking. Typically the fields may include "Priority", "Status", "Approved/rejected by", "Date approved/rejected", "Estimate" and so on.
  • As an example let's say you want to create a "Priority" field with the values "High", "Medium" and "Low".
  • First type "Priority" in the "Name" field.
  • Then select "List of values" in the "Type" field. Now you can type in the three possible values.
  • Type "High" in the input field on the right and click "Add value".
  • Type "Medium" in the input field on the right and click "Add value".
  • Type "Low" in the input field on the right and click "Add value".
  • Remember to save all these values by clicking "Insert". You have now created your first custom field.
  • Now create the other custom fields you need.

Tip: You can always go back and create new custom fields if you need to.

You have now set up the issue tracking module for your project.

Tip: You can link each issue to all the affected business and functional requirements. Select the issue you want to link from and click "Add requirement link". Then search and select the requirement you want to link to. Repeat if you want to link to more than one requirement.
