Set up trackers

A tracker is a collection of related artifacts that describe work to be done or issues to be resolved. Every project should have one or more trackers.

When you start a tracker, you decide which fields will be used, who will use them, and how they will use them.
  1. Create a tracker
    Create a tracker whenever you need to report and track bugs, feature requests, support requests, or any other type of issue where ownership, status, and activity must be managed.
  2. Set up tracker data
    Useful fields and field values help users supply useful information and help you report accurately on your project's work.
  3. Assign a tracker artifact automatically
    You can configure the tracker to automatically assign newly submitted artifacts to specific project members.
  4. Create a tracker workflow
    To channel project members' work on tracker items, set up rules for how a tracker item can move forward.
  5. Set default tracker columns
    Choose what information is visible by default to users of your project when they open a tracker or planning folder.
  6. Change a tracker
    A tracker's real-world uses often outgrow the name or description you gave it when you created it. When that happens, it's a good idea to update the tracker to reflect its changing role.
