Associating Screens with Issue Types

In the Enterprise edition of JIRA it is possible to define Issue Type Screen Schemes. Issue Type Screen Schemes associate Screen Schemes with issue types, allowing you to specify different Screens for the same operation (e.g. 'Create Issue') in the same project for issues of different issue types.

1. The "Add Issue Type Screen Scheme" form is located at the bottom of the Issue Type Screen Schemes page.
2. Enter the name for the new scheme.
3. You can optionally add a description.
4. Select a Screen Scheme for the Default entry in the new scheme. The Screen Scheme mapped to the Default entry will be used for issue types that do not have a specific mapping in the scheme.
5. Click on the "Add" button. The screen will automatically update the Issue Type Screen Schemes list with the new Issue Type Screen Scheme.

1. Click on the "Edit" link next to the selected Issue Type Screen Scheme.
2. You will now be directed to the "Edit Issue Type Screen Scheme" page where you can edit the Issue Type Screen Scheme's name and description as well as the Screen Scheme of the Default entry.
3. Click on the "Update" button.
4. You will be brought back to the Issue Type Screen Schemes Page with your updates now applied to the Issue Type Screen Schemes list.
   

1. Click on the "Delete" link next to the Issue Type Screen Scheme you wish to delete.
2. Click on the "Delete" button to confirm this action.
3. You will be brought back to the Issue Type Screen Schemes Page with the Issue Type Screen Scheme removed from the Issue Type Screen Schemes list.
   

1. Click on the "Copy" link next to the field screen you wish to copy.
2. You will now be directed to the "Copy Issue Type Screen Scheme" page.
3. Enter the name and description of the new Issue Type Screen Scheme.
4. Click on the "Copy" button.
5. You will be brought back to the Issue Type Screen Schemes Page and the newly added Issue Type Screen Scheme will have the same scheme settings as the original Issue Type Screen Scheme.
   

The configuration of an Issue Type Screen Scheme involves associating an issue type to a particular Screen Scheme. For example, associating the Bug issue type to the "Default Screen Scheme" and then associating Improvement to the "Improvement Screen Scheme".

To configure a given Issue Type Screen Scheme click on the "Configure" link next to the selected Issue Type Screen Scheme from the "View Issue Type Screen Schemes" Page. You will then be directed to the Configure Issue Type Screen Scheme Page

Associate an Issue Type to a Screen Scheme

1. The "Add Issue Type to Screen Scheme Association" is located at the bottom of the Configure Issue Type Screen Scheme Interface.
2. Select an issue type you wish to associate a Screen Scheme with.
3. Select the desired scheme.
4. Click the "Add" button and the new association will be added to the association list above.

Edit an Association

1. Click on the "Edit" link next to the issue type you wish to edit.
2. You will be brought to the "Edit Issue Type Screen Scheme Entry" page.
3. Select the screen you wish to change this association to.
4. Click on the "Update" button and you will be returned to the Issue Type Screen Scheme interface.
   

Delete an Association

1. Click on the "Delete" link next to the issue operation you wish to remove.
2. The association will be automatically removed from the table.

Once you have created and configured an Issue Type Screen Scheme to your desired settings you can now associate the scheme with a Project. This will apply your chosen Screen Scheme to each issue type within the selected project.

1. Log in as a user with the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission.

2. Bring up the administration page by clicking either the 'Administration' link on the top bar or the title of the Administration box on the dashboard:

   

3. On the Administration page is a list of projects which this user can manage. Select the project of interest.
4. Click on the "Select Scheme" link on the beside the Issue Type Screen Scheme caption.
   
5. Select the screen scheme you wish to associate with this project.
   
6. Click on the "Associate" button.
