Categories?

[PGAmerica]

I am working on issues with our Project Manager and see an option to change the category the issue is on. However, nothing shows up on the drop-down list. I see nothing in the ACP that even mentions categories.

Can somebody please explain to me what I am missing?

You have to create the categories in the Admin CP first.

Well, as I said in my post, I see nothing in the ACP that even mentions "Categories".

My ACP Menu has these options:

Project Manager
Project Permissions
Issue Type Manager
Tag Manager
Update Counters
Edit Issue
Attachment Storage Type
vBulletin Blog

Admin CP -> Project Tools -> Project Manager -> [Categories] -> Add Project Category

[PGAmerica]

Wow, that is really buried. Wouldn't it make more sense to just put it on the main menu?

[Wayne Luke]

Each project can have its own categories. They aren't shared amongst different projects.

[PGAmerica]

I see that now. What is the purpose of the categories? I see no option in the ACP to sort by category and noting in the Project Manager that has any feature other than "Display" for categories?

[Wayne Luke]

You can use them to narrow search down. If you have a category called User Interface and Joe needs to find all the open bugs assigned to that category, then he can do so on the advanced search page.

OK, I finally see. Thank you

I've read this thread completely!! I even printed it out and have it in front of me!!

When I go into my CP I see nothing that reads project tools! It must be hidden real good or I'm tring so hard I'm over looking it!!

I'm brand new to this......... right now I have Main Category
Main Category Description
and all my new forums are lisited under that, I would like to start new Categories!

Maybe I am not the appropriate person to answer this, but if you do not have a "Project Tools" menu option in your ACP, that implies to me that you did not upload all the files that came with this mod. You might want to re-upload the files again.

" I GOT IT"
Had nothing to do with project tools!
CP->Forums & Moderators->Add New Forum->Posting Options =Act as Forum, set to "NO"

It was so easy I feel , I studied your post so hard I over looked the basics. Like I said I'm new to this!
