h2. Trackers

7 18 dj jones
Trackers are how you split your issues into different types - common ones are Bug, Feature, Defect or etc.
8
9 33 Go MAEDA
For each tracker, you can define: (see image below)
10 28 dj jones
* Name  (the example pictured is 'Bug')
11 36 Go MAEDA
* Default status (an issue status applied by default to new issues)
12 34 Go MAEDA
* If the issues bound to the tracker should be displayed on the [[RedmineRoadmap|roadmap]]
13
* A different workflow
14
* Standard and custom fields available for the tracker

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).

If you want to measure progress of work done, including % progress of work on Issues unfinished but partially done:

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:

* As per screenshot below, you can set the % Done for each status - (if left blank, changing an issue to this status will not change its percent done.)

* After setting new values: use the 'Update Issue done ratios' command to set the " Done %" for all issues to match the values in the table:

h3. Status transitions

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

43 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: For a user to change an issue status, they need to have either 'Edit issues' 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.

h3. Fields permissions
52
53 37 Bernhard Rohloff
On this tab one can set special permissions to a field in a specific state. One can choose between the attributes @read-only@, @required@, or leave it empty for default behavior. If the field is set as @read-only@ it is hidden in the edit section and can not be changed by the selected role. If the field is set to @required@ it can not be left empty when the issue gets edited by the selected role.
