# Issue weight **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
> Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.
|
|
|
|
When you have a lot of issues, it can be hard to get an overview.
|
|
With weighted issues, you can get a better idea of how much time,
|
|
value, or complexity a given issue has or costs.
|
|
|
|
## View the issue weight
|
|
|
|
You can view the issue weight on:
|
|
|
|
- The right sidebar of each issue.
|
|
- The issues page, next to a weight icon (**{weight}**).
|
|
- [Issue boards](../issue_board.md), next to a weight icon (**{weight}**).
|
|
- The [milestone](../milestones/index.md) page, as a total sum of issue weights.
|
|
|
|
## Set the issue weight
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
- You must have at least the Reporter role for the project.
|
|
|
|
You can set the issue weight when you create or edit an issue.
|
|
|
|
You must enter whole, positive numbers.
|
|
|
|
When you change the weight of an issue, the new value overwrites the previous value.
|
|
|
|
### When you create an issue
|
|
|
|
To set the issue weight when you [create an issue](create_issues.md), enter a
|
|
number under **Weight**.
|
|
|
|
### From an existing issue
|
|
|
|
To set the issue weight from an existing issue:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the issue.
|
|
1. On the right sidebar, in the **Weight** section, select **Edit**.
|
|
1. Enter the new weight.
|
|
1. Select any area outside the dropdown list.
|
|
|
|
### From an issue board
|
|
|
|
To set the issue weight when you [edit an issue from an issue board](../issue_board.md#edit-an-issue):
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your issue board.
|
|
1. Select an issue card (not its title).
|
|
1. On the right sidebar, in the **Weight** section, select **Edit**.
|
|
1. Enter the new weight.
|
|
1. Select any area outside the dropdown list.
|
|
|
|
## Remove issue weight
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites:
|
|
|
|
- You must have at least the Reporter role for the project.
|
|
|
|
To remove the issue weight, follow the same steps as when you [set the issue weight](#set-the-issue-weight),
|
|
and select **remove weight**.
