## About this task

The Issues related list appears on a plan record when GRC: Profiles is installed. For more information, see [Managing issues from Business Continuity Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/RDspwLk~M5hLOIX2x0vhfQ "Associate issues with business continuity plans to track problems identified during continuity planning. Create or add an existing issue from the Issues related list on a plan record.").

2. Complete the following steps to create or manage an issue from a plan record.

   | Step | Description |
   | Create or add an issue from the plan record | 1. Open the plan record from the Business Continuity Workspace list view. 2. Select the Issues tab in the record. The Issues related list shows the issues associated with the plan. 3. To create a new issue, select New, complete the issue details, and select Save. This step creates a new issue directly from the plan. The Create new issue form is shown in the example. The classification, issue source, and issue source reference are set automatically. 4. To add an active issue to the plan, select Add in the record. Use this option when you want to associate an existing issue with the plan as an additional source. The plan is recorded as a secondary source of the issue. 5. To remove an issue, select it from the list and choose Remove. The issue association is removed from the plan; the issue record isn't deleted from the instance. {#add-or-create-issue-from-plan-uib-ws__ol_w3m_f3s_jkc} |
