Viewing issues in a project

Black Duck provides information on the issues associated with a project version as monitored by an issue tracking system. Currently, this feature is supported using Black Duck Alert 6.2.0 and later.

Black Duck displays an Issues link in the project version header for a project version if an issue tracking system was configured to the Black Duck project version using Black Duck Alert. Once Black Duck Alert creates issues for this project version, the link appears. No additional configuration is needed.


Issues in Header

Note that the Issues link does not appear if there are no issues or all issues have been deleted.

Users with the Global Project Administrator, Global Project Manager roles and all project members (users assigned to the project) can select the issues value to display the Issue Management table.


Issues Management dialog box

This table lists the issues created in the external issue tracking systems. You can then use this table to see the status of the issue in your workflow.

The table provides the following information for each issue:

Column Description
Component Component name and version affected by this ticket.
ID Issue identifier.
Summary Summary of the external issue.
Assignee User assigned to this ticket.
Status Status of the ticket.
Updated Time when this ticket was last updated.

Note that this table does not display all changes from the external issue tracker system. Changes to the issue, such as manual changes to the description, will not be reflected in the Black Duck issue table other than those changes made automatically to the issue by Black Duck Alert.
