BCF Topic Settings

Topic Settings can be found under the Project Settings Tab. Only project admins can make changes to the settings. 

Customizable fields are:

• Type

• Status

• Priority

When the project is created, a set of default values are pre-generated in the settings. Topic default values cannot be edited (only removed).

Note that only values that are configured in the settings can be given when a new Topic is created. Changing default values will not change existing topics.

Supported functions:

• Remove a single default value

• Remove all default values

• Restore all default values

A topic type is a way to easily identify and categorize issues accounting to BCF standards. You can use the default types or create custom ones.

Supported functions

• Add new type value

• Remove a type value

• Edit a custom type value

• Add a custom icon for custom type values

Note: Changes to will only take effect after you have clicked the Save button in the page header

A topic status is a way to easily track progress of topics. You can use the default types or create custom ones.

To keep the topics listing manageable, you can set individual statuses to “Inactive”. This will remove the topic from the main active list.

Supported functions

• Set active/inactive status values

• Set the default status value (to be applied to new topics)

• Add new status value

• Remove a status value

• Edit a custom status value

• Add a custom color for custom status values

Note: Changes to will only take effect after you have clicked the Save button in the page header

Priorities give a rank of importance to topics. You can use the default types or create custom ones.

Supported functions

• Add new priority values

• Remove a priority value

• Edit a custom priority value

• Add a custom color for custom priority values

Note: Changes to will only take effect after you have clicked the Save button in the page header
