Hey there, Support Community!

 

We are very pleased to announce the release of a much requested feature...Product Issue Tracking! With this new functionality you will be able to track cases that have associated issues and view the status of the issue including the fixed versions! Here is an outline of the two major new features coming with this new release of Jive's Supportal.

 

Viewing status of Product Issues on the individual cases

This is now in the sidebar of a case. We are removing the bar which showed the static text of the cases and are now showing various information about the product issue, all in real time.

 

Here is what was previously displayed:

And here is the new view:

This allows you to quickly see if you have open or closed issues in a case. Also, if desired, you can click the "Show Details" link to expose some additional information about a product issue. It will look similar to this:

This will also show in others' public cases that have product issues attached to them. Please use public cases and spread the knowledge!

 

 

Viewing a list of all cases that have open product issues

We have also added a new tab to your account's secure space which shows a list of all cases that have at least one open product issue assigned to them. This means that you can now actively check on cases that have open issues and get real time data on them! Is it fixed? Is it still open? Check out this new functionality today! You will also have the opportunity to view all cases associated with closed product issues, as well as their resolution and fix version(s).

If you have a long list of issues, you'll notice the details box follows your browser window down, and the green highlighting tells you explicitly which product issue you're currently viewing.

 

If you have any questions, comments, feature requests, bug reports, etc., on this new and exciting functionality, please leave a comment or head to our Supportal Feedback space.

 

Thanks and enjoy,

Will

Hi Jive!

 

thanks for giving us back a tiny view into your JIRA.

We have a very long list of open issues. Going through this lists takes some time.

 

It would be a great improvement to see the "Fixed Version(s)" information in for each entry in the overview.

Also a filter for the "type" (Bug/Improvement) would be very usefull.

 

best regards and greetings from Frankfurt, Germany,

Nils

Glad to hear this is being of some use to you! Great improvement ideas, I've logged these as: SUP-384 & SUP-385

 

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh, so good.  There's a couple cases I always come back to and it's great to see the issue status rather than the old ping+pong check
Aug 21, 2009 1:11 PM Greg Jankowski Greg Jankowski    says:

One thing that would be very useful is to have an idea as to what the #'s and icons means. The only one with a key is the open/resolved icons.

 

Instead of using real estate for a partial key, can't you add a mouse-over feature to describe each item or have a pop-key so you can understand what the arrows, icons, etc. actual mean.

Aug 24, 2009 2:26 PM Will French Will French    says in response to Greg Jankowski:

Thanks for the feedback Greg, I've logged this as an improvement: SUP-391

 

I agree that having an idea of what these mean would add value

Improvement:

It would be great to get some information from JIRA if status, fixed version changes happen. Right now, we need open the "closed" issues to check the status.

Sep 21, 2009 10:55 AM Will French Will French    says in response to Nils Bolsen:

Hi Nils,

 

I completely agree that showing the information is about half way there. Our goal is to include email alerts when certain fields of the Jira issue changes (including status, fix version, and a few others). We don't have an ETA on this quite yet, but I appreciate your feedback!
