h2. 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.

h2. 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

h2. Fields

The important ones are *subject* and *description*, when in doubt leave the other fields empty.

h3. Subject (important)

A short description e.g. "Search function for people"

h3. 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":https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineTextFormattingTextile

h2. Roadmap

Which features are planned for future releases can be seen on the "Roadmap":/projects/uni/roadmap.

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
