Create a Work Item

To create a work item:

1.

From the menu, select Create Work Item.

The Create Work Item page opens.

2.

From the Item Type drop-down list, select the type of work item you want to create.

3.

From the Subtype drop-down list, select the subtype you want to create.

If you don't need to use a subtype, leave the Subtype field blank.

4.

Click Next.

Note: The Recent field lists recently used item type/subtype combinations. You can click one of the links in the Recent field to select an item type and subtype without selecting them individually from the drop-down lists. When you select a link from the Recent field, you don't need to click Next.

5.

In the new work item, select existing values or fill in the applicable fields on the work item.

6.

Click Create.

Note: The Create button is not available until values are added to all of the required fields.

XTRAC assigns a work item number and displays it at the top of the work item page.

When you enter a value in the Account Number field while creating a work item, the button is displayed. Click to prefill applicable work item fields (such as Customer ID, First Name, Last Name, and so on).

Note: Make sure you enter a valid account number. If the account number you enter is not found, the following message displays:
