# Ticket checklist (checklist inside an issue)

##### A checklist comes really handy when a ticket needs a list of tasks to be done in order to accomplish the overall ticket. Instead of creating a lot of Jira sub-tasks you can quickly create a list of items/ tasks.

## Create a new checklist

- When a new ticket is created, a blank checklist will appear by default.
- Start by naming your first tab of the checklist.
- Instead of a blank checklist, you can also set a default template per Project per Issue type. For more information refer [working with templates](https://support.appbox.ai/docs/checklist-for-jira-cloud/templates/templates/).

**Note**- ensure that “Checklist for Jira cloud” is enabled in the current project.

> Checklist for Jira Cloud uses the following hierarchy.

> **Checklist > Tabs > Sections > Items**
