Create an Issue

Projects can be divided into smaller Issues, each of which represents a specific task that needs to be completed.

Creating your first Issue

Select the Tracker view by clicking the checkbox icon on the left sidebar, and ensure the side panel is open by clicking the horizontal lines at the top left.

Click the blue + New Issue button at the stop of the side panel. This will open a dialog where you can enter some initial settings for your Issue. After entering your desired settings, click Create issue.

Issue settings

Project: In the top left corner of the dialog, you will see the Project that this Issue is associated with. Click on the name of the Project to see a dropdown where you can choose to select a different Project to associate with this Issue.

Issue title: A title for your Issue.

Description: A description of your Issue. Descriptions may be formatted with markdown formatting, including headers, codeblocks, links and more.

Issue status: It is recommended to set your Issue status to “Todo” when it’s first created.
