How do I migrate to Tracker from other services?

How do I delete an issue?

You cannot delete an issue from a queue, but you can close it with an appropriate resolution. For example, you can close duplicate issues with the Duplicate resolution or use the Canceled resolution to close issues created by mistake.

If you want to erase unnecessary issues, move them to a special queue and then delete it:

• Move an issue to another queue Tracker
• Deleting a queue in Tracker

How do I assign an issue to multiple users?

Each issue can have only one assignee. To organize work involving multiple people:

• If multiple users work on an issue one after another, change the assignee as the issue progresses.

• If multiple users work on an issue at the same time, split the issue into sub-issues and specify an assignee for each sub-issue.

• Create a global field with the List of users type and use it in issues. For example, name this field "Co-assignees" and add other people working on the issue. Alternatively, create separate fields for each role, such as "Analyst", "Tester", and "Designer".

  For more information on creating fields, see ```

How do I delete a queue?

A queue can be deleted by its owner and Yandex Tracker administrators, as well as by users with the Queue settings permission.

To delete a queue:

1. Open the queue page.

2. To the left of the queue name, select → Administration.

3. Go to the Basic parameters tab.

4. Click Delete queue.

5. Confirm the deletion.

For more information about deleting a queue, see Delete queue.

How do I find the queue owner?

The owner is specified on the Description tab on the queue page. For more information, see List of queue issues.

I don't have access to an issue

Access permissions for issues are determined by the queue settings.

If you do not have sufficient rights to access the queue page and its issues, contact the queue owner or administrator. The name of the queue owner is usually specified in the access restriction message.

If you can access the queue page but can't view or edit some issues in the queue, these issues may include components with limited access. Make sure also to contact the queue owner.

Why can't I use widgets grouped by the Issuefield?

The Issue field contains the issue name — an arbitrary value the user comes up with. The names are almost always unique. If you try to build a table where rows or columns are grouped by a set of unique values (in the Issue field), the result would be cumbersome and uninformative.

Do not use the Issue field to group data in rows or columns of pivot tables, or as a key parameter to build issue statistics. We will soon disable data aggregation or grouping by the Issue field in widgets. All the widgets with such grouping will be deleted later.

If you have any widgets with grouping by the Issue field, and you want to preserve them, you can:

• Replace your widget with a new widget with an issue list.
• Create an additional field in your issues to store the data you need to build grouped widgets.

Create a new widget

If you need a simple issue list, replace your widget with an issue list widget. To do this:

1. Create a new Issues widget.

2. Fill out the Filter field in the same manner as in your previous widget.

3. In the Columns field, select the issue parameters to be shown in the table.

4. Fill in the remaining fields and save the new widget.

5. Delete the previous widget.

Create an additional field and set up grouping for it

If you add keywords to issue names to use them for grouping issues in widgets, we recommend creating a separate field for such keywords. Then instead of the Issue field, you can use this new field for grouping.

1. Create a new field to store the data that you add to the Issue field.

2. When creating issues, enter the data needed to build the widget into the new field immediately.

3. In your existing issues, move the data to the new field by an automatic action:

   1. Select Update issues.

   2. Under Filter parameters, click Add condition, select Issue, and specify the issue name (the keyword used for grouping in the widget).

   3. Click Add action and select Change field values. Then select the previously created field and copy the issue name to it.

   4. Create similar automatic actions for every possible keyword.

4. If you're creating an issue using an external source (for example, Yandex Forms), make sure to save the widget data to a new field during integration setup.

5. Edit the old widget: use the new field instead of the Issue field in the settings.

How do I disable automatic sign-out for a federated user account?

If a federated user signs out of their account automatically, this may be due to the federation settings. When a session is over, a user logs out of the system and needs to log in again.

I still have questions. Who do I ask them to?
