An issue is a piece of work that needs doing or a defect that needs correcting. Issues are the project's snag list, its safety register and its coordination log at once, separated by category rather than by tool.
This topic includes:
The issues list
Issues, with the category and type taxonomy, due dates and the sheet each one
is placed on.
- Title — what is wrong, in a line.
- ID — the short reference to quote on site.
- Status — where the issue has got to.
- Category and Type — the two-level taxonomy the project defines.
- Due date — when it is needed by.
- Placement — the sheet it was pinned to, if any.
Export (n) filtered exports exactly the rows you are looking at; the number in the button is the count. Deleted issues holds anything removed.
Statuses
Open, In-Progress, Ready to Inspect, Not Approved, Approved, Closed
and Void. The ones in the middle carry the inspection cycle: work is offered
for inspection, then approved or not.
What an issue records
Beyond title and description: a category and type, an assignee, watchers, a location and location details, a start date and a due date, a root cause, a priority, a linked sheet with a pin, and attachments.
