Tracker Input Requirements

Deprecated

This page is no longer relevant as we have moved to the new JIRA Issue Tracking System

Entering a FREQ or BUG

Summary should be a short what is needed (As best you can do with the limited space)

ALL Trackers opened due to a discussion on our e-mail lists / forums need to have the following information:

• If you are using an email client
  • Subject: What the Subject Line is (Include the whole Line, including the brackets that identify the mailing list)
  • Submitted By: What is the email name (the part before the @) of the person bringing up the issue. For purposes of reducing spam on our users, please do not include the full e-mail address.
  • Date: The Date shown in your client. Put your local time AND identify your local time zone.

• If you are using the web interface
  • Yahoo Direct Link: Insert the link to the page
  • Submitted By: What is the email name (the part before the @) of the person bringing up the issue. For purposes of reducing spam on our users, please do not include the full e-mail address.

If this involves data that is not shipped with PCGen

• You MUST supply information sufficient to reproduce the issue. If we cannot reproduce it, it will not be fixed.

PLEASE DO NOT

• Paste in entire DEBUG logs from PCGen if they are posted on a list. This is a waste of space on the bug tracking system and makes the trackers harder to use.

This helps the person who takes on the tracker to know where to find the issue in context, and to have a method of easily contacting the reporting/requesting party for clarifying details.

For additional ease of use - If you need to include an entire Message with multiple replies, for context please separate out the people that did reply in this fashion.

REPLY IN MESSAGE (Person that replied, either Name if known team member or Email Address)

REPLY IN MESSAGE (OP is allowed for the Original Poster if it's easier)

etc.

Once the tracker is in, please reply in the message with [Trackered] and a link to the newly created Tracker

Thanks
