About Issue Forms

The Issue Forms feature in your Settings Lightbox allows you to customize the information displayed on different Issues Types, as well as the required fields that apply to those Issues Types.

There is a generic, system-generated Issuetrak Screen that is pre-selected in Settings Lightbox > Features beneath System, but once you create additional Issue Forms, you can change the default. For any Issue Types that do not have a specific Issue Form assigned, the default will be used.

Only users with Sys Admin or Can access and maintain Administration functions permissions can add, edit, or delete Issue Forms within your system. Only a user with Sys Admin can change the Default Screen.
