Customizing Actions, Reason Codes, and the Action Dialogs

Read this section only if you intend to modify the actions in the default workflows, which are described in Understanding the Default Workflows. Before proceeding, please read Action Properties.
  1. Click Issues > Configuration > Workflows.
  2. Select the workflow you want to customize from the Issue Type list.
  3. Select the state that has the actions you want to modify from the State list.
  4. The Workflows page now illustrates the information you will enter in this procedure:
    • All the actions that apply to this state (as they appear in the ButtonLabel column).
    • The state that follows the current state when a given action is taken.
    • The reason code for each valid action (if applicable).
    Note: The Edit and Reassign actions, which Issue Manager predefines for all states, cannot be modified and are therefore not shown in the dialog.
  5. Proceed with tasks as outlined below:
    Add an action for the current state
    Click Add Action and proceed to step 6.
    Edit an action for the current state
    Select the action you want to edit from the Button Label column.
    Add a new state to this workflow
    Return to step 3 of How to Customize workflow states.
    Change the sort order of an action in this workflow

    Click the Move Up and Move Down buttons (in the Actions column) of the action you want to move up or down within the list.

    Delete an action from another workflow
    Click the Delete button (in the Actions column) of the action you want to delete. Then click Yes on the confirmation dialog.
    Note: Issue Manager will delete only those actions that have never been referenced by an issue.
    Modify the actions in another workflow
    Return to step 2.
    Modify the states in another workflow
    Return to step 2 of How to Customize workflow states.
  6. Specify or modify the properties of an existing action on the New Action for State dialog box. Use the information in Action Properties as a guide.
