## Feature idea guideline
|
|
|
|
### Subject
|
|
|
|
* The subject of the feature request should be as concise and crisp as possible.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
> [Backlogs] Grey out status fields in task board which cannot be used by role
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
* The feature description should be concise and expressive.
|
|
* Mention the reason why the change is relevant. Describe the associated use case.
|
|
* Add acceptance criteria for clarification.
|
|
* Describe the current behavior if it is to be changed by the request.
|
|
* Using the following (user story) format, describe the intent behind a new feature request:
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
> AS an OpenProject user
|
|
> I WANT to only show the allowed status fields as active for which a status transition is allowed based on the workflow
|
|
> SO THAT I am clearly aware which status transitions are allowed before doing them.
|
|
|
|
### Acceptance criteria
|
|
|
|
* State and detail the requirements in the acceptance criteria.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
> * In the task board only show the status allowed for the role the user has in the project as active.
|
|
> * The status fields which are inactive should have e.g. a grey background to make clear that a user cannot use them.
|
|
|
|
### Current behavior
|
|
|
|
* If the feature request is changing existing behavior, briefly explain the current behavior.
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
> Currently, all status transitions set for a type are displayed as active (independent of the allowed status transitions defined by the workflow).
|
|
|
|
### Wireframes / Screenshots
|
|
|
|
* If the request is visual, it is helpful to add a short wireframe or a screenshot in which changes are highlighted.
|
|
* The wireframe or screenshot can be attached as a file and can be integrated in the description with the following syntax: "!Name_of_screenshot.png!" (without quotation marks)
|
|
(Notice: Name_of_screenshot should be replaced with the respective name of the file. The file ending (here: .png) has to be adjusted to the appropriate file type of the screenshot.)
