Getting started

Issue workflow stages allow your organization to effectively address issues by defining different stages, and moving issues between them as applicable at different stages of the issue's lifecycle.

To get started, head to Issues & incidents Workflow.

(If you are in the Hub, stay in Administration Custom data.)

If you don't see Workflow under Issues & incidents in the Spoke even though the Hub setting is Enabled, you may be missing the permissions grouped under Issue workflow stages.

The 4 default issue workflow stages are:

  1. New
  2. Triage
  3. In Progress
  4. Completed

Click on Create new workflow stage to get started.

    Stage definition

    Define the below details in the Stage definition tab.


    • Stage name
    • Stage details
    • Start workflow from this stage - tick this if this is the first stage in your workflow
    • Enter from - if this is not the first stage, select stage(s) that can lead to this stage
    • Go to - if this is not the last stage, select stage(s) that this stage leads to

    Click Save when you are done.

    Connecting and organizing stages

    Add as many stages as your organization deems necessary.

    Click the arrow next to a stage's name to show or hide its description, the pencil to edit it, and the red bin to delete it. Reorder stages by holding the 6 dots to the left and dragging them.
