Create a TeamForge tracker artifact

Create a tracker artifact whenever you need to report and track a bug, feature request, support request, or other type of issue.

1. In the Site Explorer view, right-click a TeamForge tracker and select Create Artifact. The Status tab of the Artifact page is displayed in the artifact editor.
   Note: The fields on this page can vary based on your administrator's selection of required, optional, and user-defined fields.
2. In the Status tab on the Artifact page, write a title and description for the artifact. Title and description are always required fields.
3. Complete all other required fields (identified by red asterisks.
4. If the artifact represents a bug or other issue that was discovered in a file release, such as a bug in a product release, choose the release from the drop-down list under Reported in Release.
   Note: The drop-down list does not include releases assigned a pending status.
5. Under Estimated Effort, enter the time required to complete the activity described in the artifact.
   Note: On sites running TeamForge 5.2 or earlier, this field is called Estimated Hours.
6. Assign the artifact to a project member by choosing a name from the Assigned To drop-down list.
   Note: If your project administrator has configured the tracker to automatically assign artifacts to individuals based on artifact criteria, skip this step.
7. Add a file attachment, if appropriate. Browse to locate the file.
8. Select the planning folder that the work belongs to from the Planned For list.
9. Record any other information that may be appropriate. For example, if your project is using a Scrum-based methodology, your project manager may have provided a Story Points field (available since TeamForge 5.4) to track estimates of relative effort.
