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.https://aha-videos.wistia.com/medias/kho2p6hnl2
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.
