Tip to create workflow in JIRA quickly

To my colleagues who want to create quickly new workflow and don't want to touch xml \ property files.

On Administrator \ Workflows

1. If you don't have default workflow then create default Workflow with default JIRA "workflow" - it will show status as "active" so we cannot update its scheme \ workflow steps.
   
2. Copy this workflow -- it has status as "Inactive" so we can update workflow scheme.
   
3. Go to link "steps" and add new status \ transitions for new steps as required in your workflow.
   

On Administrator \ Workflow Schemes

1. Create new "Workflow Scheme" then click on "Workflows" link operation of new workflow just created.
   
2. Assign workflow to scheme,... Issue type "Bug" and select our workflow from the list.
   
3. Assign other workflows for issue types : Task, New Feature or Improvement with default workflow ( named JIRA ) or your workflow.
   

Now our workflow scheme is ready to associate with our project.
Go to your project admin panel and set workflow scheme there.

Let me know if you need more detail :)

Takecare,
