Issue Severities

Issue Severities are used against your Project Issues. The list shown on this screen is provided by default, it is created the first time you use this screen or raise an Issue.

There is no limit to the number of Issue Severities you may create but note that if you create too many, many of the input screens and reports will become awkward to use.

Fields Shown:-

Sort Order: A number representing the order in which you want the severity displayed. This has no meaning to the system other than to determine the order of the priorities. Optional - severities will display in alphabetic order if left blank.

Description: Text describing your severity. This is shown on screen and in many reports. Required.

! You cannot delete a Severity once it has been used on an Issue. However, if you find you will no longer be using a Severity, you can give it a very high Sort Order and add 'do not use' to its description.
