# External issue trackers **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
GitLab has an [issue tracker](../user/project/issues/index.md), but you can
|
|
configure an external issue tracker per GitLab project.
|
|
|
|
After you configure the external tracker, you can reference external issues
|
|
in GitLab merge requests, commits, and comments
|
|
using the format `CODE-123`, where:
|
|
|
|
- `CODE` is a unique code for the tracker.
|
|
- `123` is the issue number in the tracker.
|
|
|
|
The references are automatically converted to links to the issues.
|
|
|
|
You can keep the GitLab issue tracker enabled in parallel or disable it. When enabled, the **Issues** link in the
|
|
GitLab menu always opens the internal issue tracker. When disabled, the link is not visible in the menu.
|
|
|
|
## Configure an external issue tracker
|
|
|
|
To enable an external issue tracker, you must configure the appropriate [integration](../user/project/integrations/index.md).

|
