Issue Templates

Creating issue templates allows your team to quickly create issues with prepopulated information and avoid redundancy in the field.

Important: You must be a project administrator to create, configure, edit, and delete issue templates. These actions can only be performed on the web. Issue templates can also be used in the Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Note:

Issue templates are currently available only to Autodesk Build or Autodesk Docs subscribers.

  1. Click Settings on the Issues log and choose Templates.

    Issues setting navigation

    Create issue template

  3. Enter a template title and fill out the fields. Information you fill out here will populate into each issue created from this template. This can save your team time from entering the same information when creating similar issues.

    • Start date, Placement, Comments, and References fields are not available on a template.
    • When you select an issue type, any fields that are hidden or reordered for that type will apply to the template you are creating. Learn about hiding and reordering here.
    • If the issue type you select has required fields set up, the required fields will not be marked with asterisks when creating the template. They will be marked when your team creates issues of that type.
  4. Click Create issue template.
