Issue settings

Non-working issues

The administrator can define a list that may contain issue keys and regular expressions. This list will be the list of non-working issues. The issues listed here are ignored when creating the Real Work Summary. By default, the Non-Working issues list is empty.

Non-estimated issues

The administrator can define a list that may contain issue keys and regular expressions. This list will be the list of Non-Estimated issues. The issues listed here do not trigger the appearance of the red exclamation mark and they are ignored when sending notification e-mails too. All the issues are non-estimated by default. This can be achieved by setting upf a .* regular expression. Example: To set up all the issues of MYPROJECT to be Non-estimated, the following regular expression needs to be used: “MYPROJECT-.*”.

Working days

By default, weekdays are working days and weekends are non-working days. The administrator can define the list of days that are exceptions to the rule; these lists are empty by default. The format of the dates is yyyy-MM-dd (e.g.: 2013-01-01), the separator character is “,”.

Exclude date - List of those days that are working days by default, but they are not counted as such (e.g.: National Holidays).
