Add an item
Even if you import data from another application or sync data from another tool, you can also add a new item to your project as needed.
You can an add an item to a project from several places in Jama Connect. The list of displayed items includes only item types that are valid for the selected location.
Important considerations
Before adding a new item, make sure your project includes an item set for that item type, unless it is a text item.
You can't add items in filters or in lists of mixed item types.
To add an item to your project:
Open the Add item window using one of these methods.
Right-click the project name — In the Explorer Tree (or wherever in that project you want to add an item), right-click the project name, select Add > New item, then select an item type from the list that appears.

Toolbar — From the toolbar above Single Item View, List View, or Reading View, select Add, then choose the item type from the list that appears.
In List View, if the list contains items of a single item type and no items are selected, you can add an item of the same type, a text item, or a set to the bottom of the list.
If an item is selected, use one of these options.
