Specivo Docs

Creating an issue

Creating an issue takes seconds. The only things Specivo insists on are a subject and a tracker — everything else is optional and easy to add later.

The new issue form

Steps

  1. Open the project you're working in, then click New issue.
  2. Choose a tracker — Bug, Feature, Task, or Support. This sets the issue's type.
  3. Write a clear subject. Keep it short and specific: "Login button does nothing on mobile" beats "login broken". The subject can be up to 1024 characters, but shorter is better.
  4. Describe the work in the description box. It's Markdown, so you can use headings, lists, tables, and fenced code blocks. Mention a teammate with @username to pull them in.
  5. Set the optional fields that apply — assignee, priority, target version, sprint, start and due dates, and an estimate. You can skip any of these and fill them in once the issue exists.
  6. Click Create (or Save).

That's it. The issue gets the next number in the project (for example ACME-57) and opens on its own page.

Required vs optional

Tracker Target version, sprint, start/due dates, estimate, parent, watchers, metadata

Write a description you'll thank yourself for later

A good description says what the problem or goal is, how to reproduce a bug, and what "done" looks like. The text is indexed for search, so a clear write-up makes the issue easy to find months later.
