Adding Issues

• Title: a brief description of the problem
• Description: a more in-depth explanation of the nature of the problem, including error messages, details on how to replicate the issue etc.
• Assigned to: you may decide to allocate the issue to a developer, or leave the field blank and let developers allocated the issue to themselves later on.

• Labels: We will look at Labels shortly, please leave blank for now.

Press the "Submit new issue" button.

• Going back to the list of issues.
