The Milestones page lists all milestones in the selected project. Project Milestones are points in a development cycle where certain features or functionality are scheduled to be completed. Admins can create defined deadlines for completing bugs, tasks or features and to summarize the estimated remaining time to fix bugs or to finish tasks.
The Milestones Table contains the following columns:
Name Lists the names of all the milestones in the project.
Goal Date The goal date for the milestone in the format dd-mmm-yyyy.
Description A brief description of the milestone.
Active Active status of the milestone.
Modify Click the modify icon to make modifications to the milestone.
Delete Click the delete icon to delete a milestone.

Enter a name (required) and description (optional) for the milestone. Milestone names can contain any character except < or >. Enter the milestone goal date or click Calendar to choose a goal date from the calendar. The date should be in the format dd-mmm-yyyy.
When a milestone is created it will appear on the Server Home page for any user who has read access to the milestone. The Admin and Developer groups are also created for that milestone when a milestone is created.

Item List Grouped by Milestone Items associated with all milestones will be listed on the Grouped Bug List page. All milestones will be listed as groups unless a milestone is inactive and there are no bugs associated with it in the query results. For example, if you query on open bugs, no open bugs will be associated with an inactive milestone so that milestone will not be listed as a group.
Open Items Page Only active milestones will be listed in the Open item list.
Click Delete to delete the Milestone from the repository. After selecting Delete or Cancel, you will be redirected back to the Milestone page and the list will be updated.
