LAB 4: CREATE ISSUES

A. Create and manage labels

1. Navigate to your DigiBit Technologies group.

2. In the left pane, click Subgroup information > Labels.

3. Click New label.

4. In the Title field, enter Status::Open. The 2 colons in the label title mean that this will be a scoped label.

5. In the Description field, enter Item that is ready to begin work

6. For the label’s color, Denomas supports any RGB color code. For this label, choose Blue from the suggested color palette (or enter #0000ff in the Background color field).

7. Click Create label.

8. Create the following additional labels, setting a description and background color of your choosing. Note that some of these are scoped and some are unscoped.

   • Status::WIP
   • Status::Done
   • Priority::High
   • Priority::Medium
   • Priority::Low
   • Dev
   • QA
   • Security

9. Navigate to your Family Budget Calculator project inside the DigitBit Technologies > Software > Core group hierarchy.

10. Click Project information > Labels from the left pane.

11. “Star” these labels to designate them as prioritized labels:

    • Priority::High
    • Priority::Medium
    • Priority::Low

    The Priority::High label should be at the top of the list, followed by Priority::Medium and then Priority::Low. If they aren’t in this order, rearrange them by dragging each label up or down.

B. Create issues for tracking work

1. In your Family Budget Calculator project, click Issues from the left navigation pane.

2. Click New issue.

3. Title the issue Third-party financial services integration

4. Enter an optional issue description.

5. Using the Assignees dropdown, assign the issue to yourself (your training user). Leave the other options as they are for now.

6. Click Create issue.

7. You will be taken to the landing page for the issue you just created. Note the variety of metadata fields in the right pane. The next module discusses these fields in depth.

8. In the issue metadata pane, click Edit next to the Labels field.

9. Select the Status::Open label, then click away from the metadata pane to apply the label to the issue.

10. Repeat the last 2 steps to apply the Priority::Medium and Dev labels to the issue.

11. In the left pane, click Issues. You will see the new issue in the list along with its labels.

12. Create a second issue by clicking New issue in the top right of the issue list page.

13. Title the second issue Back-end services

14. Paste the following as the issue description:

    1 2 3

    - Create DB - Create service infrastructure - Write documentation

15. Assign the issue to yourself and click Create issue.

16. Apply these labels to the Back-end services issue: Dev, Status::Open, and Priority::High.

17. In the left pane, click Issues to see both issues with their labels.

18. Create a third issue by clicking New issue in the top right of the issue list page.

19. Title the third issue Front-end services
