Hi ! Recently I have received user feedback from Bloodhound users and wanted to highlight these points for us to discuss (as usual, my comments inline) :
- After ticket creation, if the ticket is automatically assigned (depending on the product), the ticket status is inconsistent. When you enter the ticket url, you can see that the ticket has been assigned to xxxx, but the ticket status is still new. You must manually modify the ticket status and select "reassign to: xxxx" so that the ticket status becomes "assigned". If the ticket is automatically assigned on creation, the ticket status must be changed accordingly without user intervention. - <note>using quick create ticket shortcut</note> Besides the automatic assignment function... It would be good to be able to assign the ticket to any user (working in the project) from the creation window itself. For example: The case when you have 3 people working on the same product and you want to assign the ticket to any one of them. Right now, the automatic assignment would always assign the ticket to the same owner and then the user would have to manually change the owner to the desired person. - When writing a user name to assign a ticket (or whatever)... Like in Modify Ticket --> Reassign To. It would be good to have some help like a user list displayed as we type. Currently there is no help, so I must know the user name and type it (hopefully) without errors. A dynamic list that displays the user names as we type and allows to select a user name from the list (actually this should probably be a constraint) would improve the usability and prevent typing errors and assigning the ticket to the wrong owner. Also this list should be filtered so only the users working in the product would show <note> we have developed a plugin for the feature above , see https://github.com/olemis/trac-mentions </note> - There is no easy way to see the tickets that I create as a reporter. They do not show in the dashboard. The feature of showing only the last created ticket in the creation window is a bit obscure (I need to click "Create Ticket" to find out which is the last created ticket) not to mention lacking because if I had created 5 tickets, only the url of the last one would show here. For the other ones, there is no easy way to access their url. Ideally for me the tickets that I report, would show in my dashboard. This way I could easily see the list by clicking "Dashboard'. Right now the alternative is to use a report (not always can find the right one). In practice I end-up creating a custom query just to see the newly created tickets, which is a tedious task (click Custom query, configure it, add/remove query parameters, select Status=new, type my own name as reporter) <note>I see this feature deployed at i.a.o/bh/report/7 , maybe we should just distribute that query in default BH installation ?</note> -- Regards, Olemis - @olemislc
