Global Issue List Configuration view

The global issue list configuration view will open:
It is split into two tabs.
Global Settings
Workflows
Used to create or delete workflows. The start state of a workflow gets set here:
States
Used to add or delete states to the current workflow.
Transitions
Used to add or delete transitions to the current workflow.
Issue Lists
Issue Lists
Used to create or delete issue lists.
The Issue Lists table lets the user define the issue lists. Each issue list is defined by a name and a key. The name is mainly used for navigation within the software and the key is used in the Id of each issue belonging to that issue list. In the previous image the name of the global issue lists is set to 'Global Issue List' and the key is set to 'GIL'. That means that by default every issue in that issue list will have a key that looks like GIL-1, GIL-2 etc.
Issue List Components
Used to add or delete issue list components to an issue list. For better visualization an icon can be set for each component. New icons can be added through the pencil icon:
Clicking the pencil button will open the icons management attached files view, which is explained also in custom views. After an icon is added through that view, it becomes available in the dropdown of the Issue List Component.
Issue Types
Used to add or delete issue types to an issue list. For better visualization an icon can be set for each issue type. When creating a new issue type a workflow needs to get set.
The pencil icon lets the user change the workflow of existing issue types. This is a breaking operation, and will reset the state of all issues of that issue type to the start state of the new workflow.
