Access¶
To create an issue you'll have to be a registered user. You can create an account at https://redmine.openatlas.eu/account/register. It will take a few hours up to a few days to get activated.
New Issue¶
- You can create a new issue in a project by clicking on + New Issue in the menu
- An issue can be created for a bug, a feature, a question or anything project related you would like to keep track of
- Please make sure that your issue hasn't already been reported to avoid duplicates
Fields¶
The important ones are subject and description, when in doubt leave the other fields empty.
Subject (important)¶
A short description e.g. "Search function for people"
Description (important)¶
Describe your request or problem and provide an URL. A lot of information e.g. which version you use is available with just an URL.
If it is a bug the more information the better. E.g. if a button isn't working as expected providing the following would be very helpful:
- The error message
- Which operating system
- Which browser/version
- A screenshot
For text formatting you can refer to the Redmine documentation

Please note that development on the OpenAtlas project is a fluid process and milestones will change depending on factors such as:
- New feature requests and bug reports
- Available resources and funding
- Dependencies between issues
