How to Set Up Auto-Assign Rules in GitScrum?
How to set up auto-assign rules in GitScrum?
GitScrum auto-assign rules automatically assign users or labels when tasks move to specific columns. Configure auto-assign users for columns like "Code Review" to assign reviewers, or auto-assign labels for "Testing" to add QA tags. This automation reduces manual work and ensures consistent processes across the team.
Configuring auto-assign rules:
- Open board settings - Click gear icon
- Select column - Choose target column
- Enable auto-assign users - Select team members
- Enable auto-assign labels - Select labels
- Save configuration - Apply changes
- Test by moving task - Verify automation works
