Create project components

Components let you and your team classify issues so you can easily find and report on them. As a project admin, you can create components that you and your team can then add to issues via the standard component field.

To create a new component:

1. Navigate to your project and choose Project settings

2. Choose Components in the sidebar and choose Create component

3. Give the component a name

4. Optionally, fill in the following values:

   • Description - Describe the component so other can understand what it’s used for

   • Component lead - A person designated as being responsible for work items that have the component

   • Default assignee - A person who is automatically assigned to the work item if the component is added

5. Choose Save.

Once you’ve added at least one component, a new Components item will appear in the project view navigation. There, you and your team can view existing components and the work items that have that component.
