Title: Maintenance workspace, to the point?
Post by: Jan van Mastbergen on February 05, 2007, 02:30:43 pm
In a requirements analysis I am trying to keep track of discussions, questions etc. using the maintenance workspace. Its use bothers me somewhat. It has tabs for todo's, issues, defect, changes. In reality the distinction is not that sharp and something that starts out as an issue may turn into a defect or change request on second thought. Happens all the time but I cannot switch type other than by retyping the issue  in another tab. So rather than separate object types each with their own but very similar data entry screen I would have preferred a selectable issue type code on a single screen.
To my surprise this is how the various issue types are actually implemented in the t_objectproblems table.
Might I ask for a GUI change? It would make life a lot more pleasant when glossing over requirement issues in f.i. an interactive session with customers.

Regards, Jan

Yes, this really does make sense. An excellent idea for a (hopefully) straightforward enhancement.
