The Main Frame

The main frame displays a list of the Issues contained in your project.  By default, the listing includes columns with descriptive information about each Issue, such as the title, the date on which it was submitted, and the assignees.  The assignees are displayed in a drop-down menu. The user has control of which columns are displayed through the My Preferences page.

In addition to displaying information about each Issue, you can view, edit, or perform tasks on each of the Issues listed.

• To edit an Issue, click the "Edit" icon next to the Issue's number (only displayed if you have Edit rights to the Issue). 
• To view an Issue, click the Issue number. The Details screen is displayed, with complete information about the Issue shown.
• To perform an action on multiple Issues, use the Quick Action Checkbox Dialog.

For each Issue, you will see (from left to right):

1. Issue #—This is the number that FootPrints has assigned this Issue.
2. Priority—This is the priority this Issue was given.
3. Assignees—The assignees for this Issue are listed in a drop-down box.
4. Last Edited On—The date when this Issue was last worked on.
5. Status—The status of this Issue. 
6. Title—The title of the Issue, usually used as a Subject or Summary.  Click the hypertext link to view the details of the Issue, or click the green “Edit” button to edit the Issue (only appears if you have permission to edit this Issue).
7. Quick Action Checkbox Dialog—Perform a task on multiple Issues at one time.
