Trackers

Questions about Trackers in TeamForge.

Concept definition.

Can I assign an artifact or task to a group of users?
Unfortunately this is not possible with the current implementation of groups in TeamForge.
How do I create an artifact through email?
To create a tracker artifact using email, send an email message to <tracker id>@<TeamForge server>.
I don't need the priority and assigned-to fields, how do I get rid of them?
These fields are used internally by the system and cannot be deleted or disabled.
Why do the open tracker counts differ from when I filter on 'Open'?
The 'Open' category on the summary screen is based on the meta status 'Open'. It includes multiple statuses; Open, Fixed, and any other statuses that are defined as equivalent to Open by the tracker admin for your project.
How do I edit the predefined data in the various fields in the issue tracker?
Use Configuration Options to edit the required data in the fields.
Can I limit the number of characters for fields in a tracker?
No, it is not possible in the current version of TeamForge.
Is it possible to move an artifact from one tracker to another?
Yes. It is possible.
How can I change the display order of the fields in my tracker?
Simply drag and drop the fields within your browser.
How do I create a parent or a child artifact?
A tracker artifact can be a parent or a child to another artifact.
What does the status of a planning folder mean?
The status of a planning folder communicates where it currently stands in the development process. You can set the status of a planning folder to values you define yourself.
How is a project template structured?
When you create a template that includes project content, each tool brings in its own kind of structure, depending on the type of content it manages.
How do I create new values in the 'Reported in Release' field?
SFTF will populate that field automatically from the packages that are defined in the file release tool.
What fields can I use in a tracker?
You can use fields provided by TeamForge, and you can create your own custom fields. Most trackers use a mix of TeamForge-provided fields and user-defined fields.
What happens when a changed value makes a dependent field invalid?
When a user changes a field value on which the values of other fields depend, some dependent values may need to be corrected.
