Customize according to your team’s needs

Categorize kinds of work with issue types and then track data on issues with fields. You can modify default issue types and create new ones based on your team’s needs. In company-managed projects, project admins can decide which fields should appear in the issue detail view for different issue types. In team-managed projects, project admins can configure issue types and layouts for their projects and create custom fields as needed.

After this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Describe the purpose of issue types, fields, and screens.
  • Configure the issue layout in company-managed projects.
  • Describe how schemes impact issue layout in company-managed projects.
  • Add issue types to a team-managed project.
  • Create custom fields in team-managed projects.
