About Custom Screens

Information

The Custom Screens setting in your Issuetrak Administration menu allows you to customize the information displayed on different Issues Types, as well as the required fields that apply to those Issues Types.

There is a generic, system-generated Issuetrak Screen that is pre-selected in System Settings > Features, but once you create additional Custom screens, you can change the default. For any Issue Types that do not have a specific Custom Screen assigned, the default screen will be used.

Only users with Sys Admin or Can access and maintain Administration functions permissions can add, edit, or delete Custom Screens within your system. Only a user with Sys Admin can change the Default Screen.
