Issues are known problems within an activity, WBS, or project that require attention or corrective action. You can view issues from several areas within the application:
- In the Dashboards section, use the My Issues portlet to view issues you are associated with in the context of the filter criteria selected for the dashboard.
- In the Projects section:
- From the Issues page, you can access all issues for any open project.
- From the Activities page or EPS page, use the Issues detail window to view issues associated with an activity, WBS, or project.
You can customize how issues are presented. For example, you can choose to view issues in either a list or chart format. You can also configure column, group, sort, and filter options to focus on issue data that is most important to you. Additionally, you can add, revise, or delete issues from each of these areas.
Notes:
- The issue name must be unique relative to the names of any other issues assigned to the same project, WBS, or activity. P6 will prompt you when it is not.
- Issues cannot be created for template projects.
To help organize and manage issues for your project additional issue management features are available, depending on your security privileges. To organize issues, you can assign enterprise-level issue codes, which enable you to categorize issues in a way that is meaningful to you. The features for organizing and managing issues are accessible on the Enterprise Data page. Use the issues options in the Enterprise Data page to add, edit, and delete issue codes and issue user-defined fields. These options appear only if you have the required privileges.
