To edit or completely view an existing issue, one can either click on the active issue number link of the report output page, or key in an issue number into the field in the header next to the Track+ logo.
Figure 4: Modifying an existing issue
When editing an issue, the default "New State" usually is the current state. If the new state equals the current state and the state change description hasn't changed no change state event is recorded.
The start and due date entries are optional. Any of the two, or both may be entered. The indication of late issues only works for those issues that have a due date assigned to them. When start or due dates are being changed, the manager and responsible associated with the issue are being informed via email.
The state change history can be accessed via the "Print Version" button and will show all state changes and other changes that have occurred throughout the lifetime of the issue. As mentioned before, the field in the navigation bar at the top allows to access an issue directly via its issue number if it is known.
Each issue may have attachments associated with it. These attachments may be arbitrary files that are uploaded to the database. Via the little paper clip icon one can access the page where attachments may be added and deleted (Figure 5).
There is a file size limit of 4 MByte imposed on a single attachment. Currently, attachments cannot be searched, and no notifications are being sent in case attachments are changed, uploaded or removed.
