Opening and Creating Tasks

To open tracker tasks and create local tasks, follow these steps

1. Do one of the following:
   • On the main menu, choose Tools | Tasks & Contexts | Open Task.
   • Press N/A
   • Click the tasks combo on the main toolbar.
2. To have the possibility to open already closed tasks, select the Include closed tasks check box. A closed task is one of the following:
   • A tracker task with the status closed in the issue tracker.
   • A local task that is not associated with a changelist provided that the entire project or the affected directory is under version control (see Associating a Project Root with a Version Control System and Associating a Directory with a Specific Version Control System).
3. In the Enter task name pop-up window, choose Create New Task, or just type the task name.

   

   • If you choose Create new task <description>, a new local task with the specified description will be created. In this case, the IDE will switch to this new task.
   • If you select a task from an issue tracker, then the Open Task dialog box opens.

     

     In this dialog, you can specify whether you want AppCode to clear the current context, create a changelist for the new task, change the issue status in the tracking system, create a new VCS branch or use the existing one. Refer to the dialog description for details.
