JTL-Issue Tracker
What is the JTL-Issue Tracker?
The JTL-Issue Tracker is a ticket system that can be viewed from the outside. Developers capture activities, developments and ideas in form of tickets in it, even those that are brought to us by you.
Each ticket includes a specific topic and is uniquely identified by the ticket ID. This offers you the opportunity to track the solution of bugs and to experience how new ideas are developed, prepared and realised.
An integrated comment functionality enables you to participate actively in the processes. In addition, you can vote for a ticket with just one click. This can lead to an increase in the priority of the ticket and thus to a faster implementation of ideas.
All tickets that are published in the JTL-Issue Tracker are visible to the public. In order to be able to track and comment tickets or to vote for a ticket, you require your login credentials for the JTL-Customer Centre.

Ticket overview in detail
In the following, please find a description of the most important columns of the ticket overview:
Type
Tickets are classified into the types Bug, Story/Feature and Idea. Bug: Tickets of the type Bug contain tasks that are used to correct errors. Story/Feature: Tickets of the type Story/Feature contain suggestions for new functions or improvements whose realisation is already scheduled in the development. Idea: Tickets of the type Idea contain suggestions for new functions whose realisation has not yet been scheduled. The more votes are received for a ticket of the type Idea, the more likely that this idea will be considered in the development and realised.

Priority
The priority indicates the importance a ticket is handled with. The higher the priority, the faster the realisation.
Target version
The Target Version column provides information on the software version from which new features are available. The target version will be published at the latest when Solved status is defined for a ticket.
Status
All: All tickets are displayed no matter of their status. Open: Shows all tickets already created but not yet processed. Tickets with Open status can change to one of the following statuses: In progress: The ticket is currently being realised. Rejected Unfortunately, we cannot realise tickets with this status. A reason can be found in the comments. Solved: Tickets with this status have already been processed. New features were implemented or a bug was fixed. Please note the target version specified in the ticket overview in order to find out from which product version the changes will be available in our software. More statuses Tickets having one of the following statuses are to be realised in the future. The three statuses Short-term, Medium-term, Future are for prioritisation. Also with these tickets your vote can contribute to give the ticket a higher priority and to process the ticket faster.
