The New Item menu option available top right within a project enables the creation of new item types.

Clicking on the New Item link will allow you to create an item. You can also create a new item in a pop-up window by selecting an item type from the dropdown menu.

The New Item screen should be completed in order to add a new item.

Most of the input fields are self-explanatory.

Relevant Fields Only

As you select different item types by changing the value of Type dropdown, you may see the actual input fields change. This is because Gemini Administrators can configure Gemini so that different input screens are used for different item types. For example a Bug may have 12 input fields whereas a Task may only have 7 input fields.  Furthermore, Gemini Administrators can even choose to show certain input fields to users who belong to particular user groups.

These settings are all controlled via Item Screen definitions.

Visibility

Item visibility determines who can see the item. By default an item is visible to “Everyone” but you can choose to show it to just a select group such as “Managers”. In doing so you hide items from other users within Gemini.

Recurrence

Items can also be scheduled to automatically repeat on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Default Values

If certain fields are not visible to users during item creation, users may not be able to create items if Default Values for hidden fields have not been specified.
