11 7 Mischa The Evil
* if the issues bound to the tracker should be displayed on the [[RedmineRoadmap|roadmap]]
12 17 Mischa The Evil
* -if the issues bound to the tracker should be displayed on the [[RedmineIssueChangelog|changelog]]-, merged into [[RedmineRoadmap|roadmap]] view

When creating a new tracker, you'll need to define its Workflow (see below) in order to properly use it. (To save time doing that -  you can copy an existing tracker's workflow when creating a new one.  To do that, select a tracker in the 'Copy workflow from' drop-down list on the 'New tracker' screen).

Then set the   [[RedmineSettings#Calculate-the-issue-done-ratio|"Calculate the issue done ratio" option]] in the application settings to "Use the issue status", which allows:

The workflow lets you define status transitions that the various project members are allowed to make on the issues according to their type.

38 16 Youssef Eldakar
On the workflow setup screen, select the role and the tracker for which you want to edit the workflow, then click 'Edit'. The screen lets you select the authorized transitions for the chosen role and tracker. The "Current status" column indicates the initial status of an issue. The "New statuses allowed" columns stand for the statuses that can be applied.

Note: To change an issue status, a user needs to have either 'Edit' or 'Add note' permission (see [[RedmineRoles|Roles and permissions]]).

In the above example, Bugs with a New status could be given an Assigned or Resolved status by the Developer role. Those with an Assigned status could get a Resolved status. The status of all the other Bugs cannot be modified by the Developer.
