## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_apw\_advanced.eap\_user

2.  From the Agile structure section of the left navigation panel, choose your EAP team.

3.  From the page header, select **New <work item type>**.

    The item type that you see on the screen depends on the configuration for your EAP team. Alternatively, you can choose a different item type from the More options menu.

4.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    The fields that you see on the form vary based on the type of work item that you selected.

5.  Select **Submit**.


## Result

The new work item is added to one of the sections of the page, based on the values that you fill in on the form.

You can open the work item from the success message to add more information.
