Simple review workflow

Post by allev » Fri 16 Aug 2013 14:05

Hi guys,
our company is currently evaluating Review Assistant, we using 'Simple review workflow' in our project.
The issue is there is no way to create review without assigning a reviewer to it. This doesn't allow us to use agile process, when anyone who is available can join a review.
Is there any way to create review in current version? (1.2.35 08-Aug-2013)
Or do you plan to add this ability in the nearest time?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Unfortunately, Review Assistant does not have such functionality yet. As a workaround you can grant Project Owner permissions to all users, create user (e.g. EmptyUser) and put this fake user to all newly created review. User with Project Owner permissions can add yourself as the reviewer and delete an EmptyUser.
In the upcoming Review Assistant 2.0 version we will think how to solve the problem in a more elegant way.

Hello, I am also interested in having reviews open to the team rather than assigning someone up front. I'm currently evaluating version 2.5 and don't see a way to do this. Has this been addressed yet?

Thank you.
