Issue Creation walk-through
BPMN Diagram
Start the workflow
You can start the workflow:
- From the Dashboard, if it has been added to a widget.
- From the global create button, under Actions.
After starting the workflow, you are presented with a dialog box which allows you to enter the details of the issue.
When you press the Create Issue button, a new issue is created with a status of New and the Issue Management process starts.
Issue Creation configuration
Access the workflow configuration via Settings → Workflows → Definitions → Issue Creation.
Description
This process takes care of creating new issues and placing them in the correct responsible community. Any user can start this workflow and needs to fill in a list of required and optional parameters for the issue to be created.
Applies to
This workflow applies to the global level. You can add it to the dashboard.
Configuration variables
You can edit the configuration variables directly from the workflow definition page by clicking in the upper-right corner of the variables table.

The start label is the name of the workflow when it is visible as a button on a resource page or in the drop-down list when you add it as a button on a dashboard. You can find the Start Label section in the upper-right corner of the workflow definition page.
