Send an Issue

You can send an issue to alert the contact and get a response by going to Projects > Issues > Send. This is the first step in the issue process.

1. From the home page, under Projects, select the name of the project you want to open.
   Alternatively, go to the main menu in the upper left-hand corner, select Projects, and then select the name of the project you want to open.
   The Dashboard for the project appears.
2. Select the Issues tab.
3. Select the issue number for the issue you want to work with.
   Note: The issue number appears in blue text and becomes underlined when you mouse over it.
   The Issue page appears.
4. Click the Send button.
   The Send window appears.
5. (Required) In the Responsible Party field, select the person to whom you want to send the issue. Depending on the project settings, this field may default based on the selected issue type.
   Note: To filter the list of contacts:

   • Enter the first few letters of the contact's name.
   • Select Team Contacts to filter the list to contacts in your enterprise.
   • Select PM Firm/Spectrum Contacts to filter the list to just contacts from your ERP system.

   To add a Team user (someone who has a Team user account), enter the full email address associated with that user. Note this is not required if your enterprise is configured to limit contacts to Vista PM firms.

   To add a new contact, select New Contact.
6. In the Due Date field, enter the date you want a response to this issue in MM/DD/YYYY format.
7. In the CC field, enter any additional contacts you want to receive a copy of the issue.
8. In the Comment field, enter any comments you want to send with the issue.
