Add and Manage Active Issues

From the Backlog view, you can add issues to or remove issues from the Active Issues list using drag-and-drop actions.

When you add or remove issues from the Active Issues list, keep a watch on its capacity. If the total story points of active issues are more than the story points capacity of the board, a warning message appears. In such a case, you can either increase the capacity of the board or remove some issues from the Active Issues list.
