Your team commits to different types of work, from innovative functionality to pesky bugs. You can standardize these types of work with custom feature types — names, description templates, icons, and colors — for features that follow the same status workflow. This way, you can structure an improvement differently than a bug, or see how much of each sprint is allocated to housekeeping tasks.
To add custom types, create a new custom Features workflow or open an existing one. Scroll to the Custom types section of the workflow and click Add type. Name your custom type, then add a description template for features or requirements that use that type.
After you have created a new type, use the Color and Icon dropdowns to further customize it. These will help you distinguish custom types in the features board, workflow board, and calendar reports.

When you add a new feature, the first type on the list will be the default. We recommend reordering feature types to represent the most commonly selected types first.
