How to Change an Issue Status on Gearbelt

Learn how to update your issues' status in Gearbelt to track issue progress

Written by Vanessa Camargo

Gearbelt enables teams to create issue reports from form submissions for review and repair scheduling. Updating the status of an issue helps track whether it is still active or has been resolved. This guide explains how issue statuses are updated in Gearbelt using the required repair form process.

Prerequisites

Before you begin make sure you have the following:

  • Plan: All Plan Types

  • Permission: Gearbelt Contributor

  • Skills Required: Gearbelt Navigation

  • Device Type: computer

  • Subscription: Gearbelt

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to the Issues section.

  2. Click on the issue record you want to update.

  3. Complete the required repair form linked to the issue.

  4. Once the repair form is submitted, the issue status will automatically update to Closed.

  5. Click the Save button in the bottom right corner of the pane.

Notes

  • Issue records have two available statuses: Open and Closed.

  • Closing an issue requires submitting a repair form and cannot be done through a direct status change.

  • Once an issue status is changed to Closed, the record cannot be reopened.

  • If an issue does not require action, you can use the archive option as an alternative instead of closing it.
