Update the Progress State for an Active Issue

You can update an active issue’s progress in the Active Issues view by dragging it from one progress column to another.

If you’re unable to drag-and-drop the issue, click the issue ID and update its progress from the Edit Issue page.

  1. Open the board that owns the active issues.
  2. Click Active Issues.
  3. Select the desired issue list view: Swimlanes or Columns.
    If necessary, use the sort list boxes to sort the active issues.
  4. To update an issue’s progress, move it from one column to another.
    For example, when a team member starts work on an issue, move the issue to the In Progress column (if exists).
  5. In the Change Progress wizard, from the To drop-down list, select the new status of the issue. If necessary, enter a comment in the Comment field.
    If you want to update the time spent on the issue, click Next.
  6. Click OK.
An activity is added to the History tab of the issue’s Activity section.

Update Time Spent on an Issue

When you move an issue from one state to another, you can update the time spent on the issue in the Change Progress wizard.

In the Add Time Spent page, in Time Spent, specify the number of days you’ve spent on the issue. In Remaining, use the default Reduce remaining ... days by entered Time Spent option to automatically subtract the value specified in Time Spent from the existing value of Remaining, if Remaining was set previously.

If Remaining was not set, then the value specified in Time Spent is subtracted from Estimate. The option is disabled if the Estimated field isn’t set.

To specify the remaining days manually, select the Set to option and specify the remaining days estimate.
