Creating a new view

By default, only three views exist on the Issues list.? This is All Issues which shows all issues; My Issues which filters the issues to only those assigned to you; and Active issues where status = ?Active.?? Using the steps below a new view will be added that will group active issues by their priority.

1.      Goto the Modify settings and column page for the Issues list

2.      Click Create a new view under ?Views?

3.      Click Standard View

4.      Enter ?By Priority? for the View Name

5.      Under ?Sort? choose Created

?        This will put the newest items to the top of the list, this can be changed.

6.      Under ?Filter? select And option and select Status from the drop down list and enter ?Active? in the text box

7.      Expand Group By and select Priority


8.      Click OK

Enabling e-mail notification to Issue owner

1.      Goto the Modify settings and column page for the Issues list

2.      Click on Change general settings

3.      Click Yes under ?Email Notification?

?        This will tell SharePoint to send an e-mail to the person the issue is assigned to whenever the issue changes.? This is also a unique feature of an Issues list web part.

4.      Click OK

Grant users the ability to create new issues

(Not that users have a problem doing this in the first place! :)

Using the steps below, we will give a group of users the ability to create new items in the Issues list, but not the ability to edit or delete items.

1.      Goto the Modify settings and column page for the Issues list

2.      Click Change permissions for this list

3.      Click on Add Users

4.      Enter in the group of users who should be able to create new issues, like <domain>\Domain users

5.      Click Advanced permissions

6.     
Select ?View List Items? and ?Add List Items? and click Next

 

7.      Under Step 4, uncheck ?Send the following e-mail to let users know they?ve been added?, if it is checked

8.      Click Finish
