Classify an issue

Classify an issue to help people recognize the sensitivity of information they’re viewing or working on.

You can classify an issue once an organization admin has to set up classification levels for your organization.

To classify an issue:

  1. Go to an issue.

  2. Select ··· > Classify issue.

  3. Choose a classification level.

  4. Select Update.

Why is my issue already classified?

You may find that an issue you’ve just created or issues you’ve worked on have been classified without any action by you or another user. This could be the result of a default classification level set by the project admin. What is a default classification level?

To change the classification level of an issue:

  1. Go to an issue.

  2. Select the current classification level.

  3. Select Change level.

  4. Choose a classification level.

  5. Select Update.

To remove the classification level of an issue:

  1. Go to an issue.

  2. Select the current classification level.

  3. Select Change level.

  4. Choose Project default. This means the issue will revert to the default classification level of the project, which could be a different classification level, the same classification level, or none. Only a project admin can change the default classification level of a project.

  5. Select Update.
