Creating case issues

New case issues are automatically assigned the default color of yellow. You can change the default color in the Color list in the Case Issues dialog box.

Organize your case issues by adding sub-level issues to parent or primary level issue. Color-coding issues helps you identify annotations that are linked to each issue, especially when there overlapping annotations in a particular section of a transcript. See Linking issues to annotations.
