Create tickets

Create tickets from the dialog, inline in a column, or with a keyboard shortcut on a sprint board.

Admins and the project manager can create tickets on any board in the project. There are three ways to do it.

Create a ticket with the dialog

  1. 1

    Open the board and select New Ticket

  2. 2

    Fill in the fields

    Only the title is required. Everything else can be set later on the ticket page.

  3. 3

    Select Create Ticket

    The ticket gets the next key for the project, for example TS-004-13.

Quick-create in a column

On a Kanban board, type a title into the quick-create box at the bottom of a column and press Enter. A Task is created in that column. Press Esc to cancel.

Quick-create on a sprint board

On a Scrum board's Board tab, press C (when you're not typing in a field) to open Create ticket. The new Task is added straight to the active sprint.

The Tickets tab

Every board has a Tickets tab: a table of all its tickets with Key, Title, Type, Status, Priority and Assignee. Select a row to open the ticket.

Deleting tickets

Tickets can't be deleted individually. Move unwanted tickets to a suitable stage, or ask an Admin to delete the whole board if it's no longer needed.
