Ask Hailey to suggest or create an issue

When responding to a Requirement-Based Assessment (RBA), you can create issues and actions as you progress.

You can bulk add issues and issue actions by selecting multiple requirements and performing these actions.

Make sure you are in the Response-1 tab. Click on the requirement you want to add an issue to, then click the Hailey brain icon next to Issues & actions in the side panel.


You can select one of the issues that Hailey recommends from your Issues Registers, ask Hailey to generate an issue relevant to the requirement, or create/link an issue yourself.

If you ask Hailey for help, it will use the relevant information from the requirement to create an issue.

Depending on the current state of the response, such as the answer to each field, Hailey's suggestion may differ.
