Areas

An area is a named subdivision of a product — for example “Homepage”, “Checkout”, or “Navigation”. Once areas are enabled, issues and risks can be tagged with one or more areas, making it easier to filter work by part of the product.

Creating an area

Section titled “Creating an area”

Only admins and owners can create areas.

  1. Open a product and go to the Areas tab.
  2. Click New area.
  3. Enter a name. A slug is generated automatically.
  4. Click Create.

Tagging issues and risks with areas

Section titled “Tagging issues and risks with areas”

When creating or editing an issue or risk, use the Areas field to associate it with one or more areas. An issue or risk can belong to multiple areas.

Archiving an area

Section titled “Archiving an area”

Archiving an area removes it from active lists without deleting its data. Issues and risks tagged with an archived area retain the association.

To archive an area:

  1. Open the area.
  2. Click Archive and confirm.

To restore it, switch to the Archived view in the product’s Areas tab and click Unarchive.

Deleting an area

Section titled “Deleting an area”
  1. Open the area.
  2. Click Delete and confirm.

Deleting an area removes it permanently. Issues and risks that were tagged with it lose that association.
