Roundtable Suggestions (v8 CHUI)

[Chris Kelleher]

We have been using RT now for just a few weeks, and wanted to know what
others though of the following "inconveniences" that RT seems to have. If
others agree, I will send them as proposed changes to Starbase:

1) After you have created a task, selected that task, you are able to
"view" the objects attached to that task. They are displayed in a window
"Object Versions Created Under Task Number: XX". Proposed Change: You
should be able to "select" and "edit" your object directly from this
listing. If you are the "owner" of the task, allow the edits to make
changes, otherwise, edit in "read-only" mode.
2) In the "Object Selection for module: xx" that lists the Group,
Level, Type, Name/Description. A little "*" on the left side of the
Name/Description to indicate that it is "checked out" would be unbelievably
helpful.
3) Still on the "Object Select for module: xx". When you highlight an
object, should also display the task #, the manager, and developer in the
"Object Details" screen. Currently, many keystrokes need to get this
information - First, SELECT the Object. Here, you note the task number.
Now you have to QUIT, TASKS, scroll to find the TASK, now Toggle. Finally,
you get to see the Manager, Programmer, and User Ref. This is a cumbersome
method of getting this commonly needed information.

Thoughts on these from anyone?

Neil,

1) If you want to select and edit objects belonging to the task use the
following: Choose Find from the object or Objects selection screen, hit
enter on the group, hit F5 (CTRL-G) on the object this gives you a list of
objects recently modified, hit Task and this list will include all the
objects on your task. Scroll to the one you want and it will select from
here.
2) On the object selection screen the object status is displayed below the
browser for the object selected. This shows whether the object is checked
out or not.
3) From the Object or Object Selection screen choose the More menu and then
History to see the task and notes information for this object version
including manager and programmer.
