This page last changed on Feb 11, 2010 by edawson.
This page explains how to add reviewers to a new review, after it has been created. On this page: Entering Basic InformationOnce a review has been created, the Edit Review dialog opens.
You must also select reviewers. Adding ReviewersBefore a review can be issued to reviewers, you must decide who can review it. When adding reviewers, you can add registered users immediately. The usernames will auto-complete, showing partial matches before you finish typing. You can quickly select one of the matches shown with the keyboard arrow keys, pressing Enter or Tab to add them to the review. In addition, you can easily invite external users who do not yet have accounts in Crucible to take part by typing their email address into the Reviewers field. Adding Users to a ReviewSelect users by typing names into the text field under Reviewers. Crucible will show a list of matches. Press Enter to select one after each entry. Clicking the 'Save' button will save the review as a draft for later issue. You can also decide to allow any registered user to add themselves as a reviewer in the review. To enable this option, put a check next to 'Allow anyone to join'. Crucible Suggests ReviewersCrucible will automatically suggest reviewers, by analysing the users that have contributed to the files you've selected and also don't have a lot of open reviews. You can easily pick reviewers from the list of suggestions by clicking. Inviting Non-Registered Users to the ReviewYou can invite users who don't have a Crucible account to join a review.
When finished, the author clicks 'Save'. The review will now be created in a draft form. Checking the Draft and Starting the ReviewThe draft review opens. In the draft stage, the author can check the contents of the review files to ensure they are correct and put in any notes for reviewers as comments. During the draft phase, no notification email is sent out to reviewers. Once the author is finished with the draft phase, he clicks 'Start Review'. The review will now be started and notification email will go out to all participants. Crucible will now send out an email notification to all the participants. This lets them know that the review is under way and prompts them to take action, providing a URL for direct access to the review. (You can also subscribe to an RSS feed.)
