An issue is a problem or error that you see in Kuali Rice. When you report an issue, you help us improve Rice and make it work better for everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to report this issue!
Kuali Rice keeps an online list of issues (bugs and suggested improvements and new features) using an issue tracking application called Jira. Your first step is to find out if the issue you have has already been reported by someone.
Go to the Jira Issue Navigator page to search through the issues that have already been reported for Kuali Rice, looking for an issue like yours: https://test.kuali.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=show&requestId=11791.
Find the Text Search section in the left column of the Issue Navigator page, below the section for Components and Versions.
In the Query field of the Text Search section, enter some text that describes your issue. Try to use words that other people would also use to describe this issue.
After you enter some text in the Query field, press the Enter key to begin the search.
In a moment or two, Issue Navigator displays all the existing issues that contain your Query text. These are displayed in the main body of the page. Look through these to see if there is one that is similar to your issue.
If you don’t find an issue similar to the one you want to report, try searching with different text in the query field.
If you do find an issue that is similar to the new one that you want to report, don’t enter a new issue. Simply add a comment to that existing issue that describes any differences in your issue or adds information about the issue.
After trying a few searches, if you don't find an issue that is similar to the one you want to report, please proceed with the instructions below.
If you didn’t find a similar issue on the Issue Navigator page, then please create a new issue in JIRA. (If you are a developer, you also determined that this is an issue with Kuali Rice and not with your application.)
Go to Kuali JIRA (https://test.kuali.org/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa).
In the Project field, select Kuali Rice from the dropdown list.
Select the appropriate Issue Type from the dropdown list:
For bugs, select Bug Fix.
For enhancements, select either Improvement or, for something that’s not yet developed: New Feature, as appropriate.
DO NOT select Task.
Click the Next>> button.
