Issue Tracker

Every project in Space comes with a built-in issue-tracking system. It's designed to help project participants keep track of bugs and requests, making the development and debugging processes more transparent and manageable through all stages of the project lifecycle.

  • An issue in Space is a unique record that can represent a problem, such as a bug, design flaw, or any defect in the product. It can also represent a suggestion or request to implement some enhancement or a new feature.

  • You create an issue when you want to report a problem or request a change.

  • An issue is assigned to a particular project member that will be responsible for working on it and eventually solving it.

  • You can filter, sort, and search issues by different criteria. Issues can also be tagged to categorize them as desired and facilitate the search.

  • In Space, each project has its own issue tracker. Issues are created for and contained within a particular project. There are no cross-project issues. However, in certain circumstances an issue can be moved from one project to another.

    Your project issues can be accessed from your project page. If you partake in multiple projects, you can view and keep track of all your issues across the projects in a single place.
