How to create a queue
Each issue belongs to one of the queues. Issues with a common theme are usually grouped together in a queue. They might be issues for a specific project, department, or team.

- on the upper panel in Tracker, or go to the link
-
Enter a unique key for the queue. The key can consist only of Latin letters and must not contain spaces or special symbols. The queue can be accessed via the direct link

Creating a queue manually
If none of the preset queue types is suitable for your issues, you can make all the settings for the new queue yourself:
-
Enter a unique key for the queue. The key can consist only of Latin letters and must not contain spaces or special symbols. The queue can be accessed via the direct link
https://tracker.yandex.com/queueKey
.Tip. Try to use keys that reflect the purpose of the queue. For example, the keyHR
is suitable for issues in the Human Resources department, orSUPPORT

Fill in the description of the queue. The description is displayed on the queue page on the Description tab.
- Assign the owner of the queue. The owner manages the queue:
Edits the main settings.
Adds users to the queue team.
Configures subscriptions and notifications.
Changes access rights to the queue.
Enter a list of members of the queue team. To do this, start entering logins or names of users and choose the appropriate option.

Select the types of issues that will be available in the queue. To add multiple types of issues, click Add type.
For each issue type, specify the workflow and possible resolutions. The workflow defines a list of possible issue statuses and the transitions between them.
Set the default issue type and priority.
If necessary, you can set Advanced settings for the queue:
Required fields for the queue — Details that will be displayed on the issue page regardless of the user's settings.
Fields in notifications — Issue details that will be present in all notifications about issues in the queue.
