Classification Fields
Classification Fields help structure issue reporting. Field Sets group them for projects. You control visibility, colors, defaults, and whether values can close issues.
SurveyTester lets testers record issues using Classification Fields—structured details that describe the problem. Since every company, team, or customer may need different fields, SurveyTester groups them into Classification Field Sets. When starting a new project, you simply choose one of these sets as your project template.
