Issues

You can browse and manage all GitHub issues in a repository from Zide.

To show the Issues activity, click its activity-bar icon or click DevOps > Issues.

To analyze the same filtered issues in a wider view, choose Open as Tab from the activity menu, then use View to select Grid, Board, Timeline, Summary, or another reporting view. Reporting is part of the Issues tab; there is no separate Issue Report tab. The export action appears when a reporting view is selected.

Issues are listed numerically and display the following information.

  • State badge: The badge that indicates if an issue is open or closed.

The Issues activity lists the first 100 issues in a repository. Click Load more to view more issues.
