General principles

Goal of issues

Issues are escalations, notes or notifications that start at the source and help to provide structure. They provide a basis for communication and help make reporting scalable. They include a chat functionality where insights from others can be shared.

Standard fields to issues

Mandatory fields

  • Category (mandatory) - Each issue belongs to a certain category

  • Title (mandatory) - Each issue has a title

  • Priority (mandatory) - Each issue has a priority. Default value is "low"

  • Equipment (mandatory) - Each issue need to be linked to an equipment

Optional fields

  • Description (optional) - Meer details kunnen weggeschreven worden in de omschrijving

  • Assignees (optional) - An issue can be assigned to users or workstations. When one selects the user category, a shortcut key “Assign to me” will appear. The selection lists of both users and workstations can be limited using advanced flows. Because issues that are not assigned rarely get closed, an empty selection of assignees will ask you whether you want to close the issue automatically.

  • Deadline (optional) - A deadline can be given to an issue. This is a date, possibly supplemented with a time (hour). There are some shortcuts keys available, namely “Tomorrow”, “Next week”, “Next month”

Status

There are three predefined status categories that can be given to an issue

  • Open - An action is required by someone

  • Closed - Completed and no further follow-up required

  • Canceled - Not processed, but no further follow-up required

Prerequisites to get started
