Issue indicators

Issue markers on bands, badge popovers, and chain highlighting.

Use issue markers to find flagged problems without leaving the river. Issues created by rules or people appear on matching bands and months when the overlay is enabled.

Turning the overlay on

Issue markers are controlled from the Issues tab of the toolbar's Icons popover. Selecting severity, status, rule, or Unseen Only chips places the matching markers on the river. Clearing the chips removes them.

Severity colors

Issues have three severities:

  • Critical: red.
  • Warning: amber.
  • Info: blue.

The color identifies severity on river markers, Issues panel badges, and issue detail tags.

Reading the markers

One issue on a band and month shows a circular badge with the issue's icon. Multiple issues on the same cell collapse into one badge with a +N count. Click the badge to open the popover. Use the chevrons to move through the issues. Click View to open an issue in the sidebar. An issue across adjacent bands shows one stretched capsule across those bands.

Hover a marker to see its severity and title. In Compressed mode, markers simplify to dots or thin lines to fit the rows.

The Issues panel

Open the Issues panel from the right sidebar to triage issues while the river stays visible behind the panel:

The header shows the total issue count, with severity counts above the list. Sort and Filter are at the top right. Mark All As Reviewed marks the currently displayed issues reviewed; hidden or unloaded issues are unaffected. Use Filter to narrow by severity.

Reading an issue

Click an issue card to open its details:

Issue detailIssue detail

The detail shows the status, the assignee, follow-up details, Apply Filters to River, and a copy-link button. See Issues for the full workflow. Opening an unseen issue marks it reviewed automatically.

If an issue links to a transaction, open its flow diagram. Click a document to highlight its connected chain, such as PO ↔ shipment ↔ bill ↔ payment. Unrelated cards fade so the relevant path stays visible. Click the same document again to clear the highlight.
