# Add Issues Aligned Elements includes a native **Issue** Management System, which allows you to add Issues and trace them from other Document Objects. Aligned Elements is configured to pick up and signalize open Issues as inconsistencies. Already traced Issues are displayed in the **Issues tab** in the Document Object form with ID, title, and current Status. ## How to add an Issue to a Document Object Open a Document Object in either read or edit mode. ### Add a new Issue to a Document Object Use the **Actions** button to select **Add Issue...** in order to add a new Issue to the parent Document Object. An Issue form is displayed. Fill out the fields and use the browser button in the dialog to upload your Issue. Close the dialog to add the Issue to the parent object. The new Issue will be automatically traced from the Document Object and will appear in the Issue tab in the Document Object form. ### Add an existing Issue to a Document Object Use the **Actions** button to select **Trace To...** and select the **Issue** type name in the subsequent dialog. In the resulting Issue list, select the Issue to which you want to trace. ### Remove an existing trace to an Issue Use the **Actions** button to select **Trace To...** and select the **Issue** type name in the subsequent dialog. In the resulting Issue list, deselect the Issue to which you want to remove the trace. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
