    • create new user / client company request
    • general questions and misc

[edit] Help Desk Diagram

See #Figure 1.

[edit] Help Desk Core activities

[edit] Initial Analysis

  • analyze request
  • interview user/ email request for additional info if required
  • consult wiki to see if system behaves as defined in wiki spec or as defined by user (if system behaves as defined by wiki spec then it is not a bug it is a request for change)

If this is a bug:

  • consult Mantis to see if this bug is already posted to mantis
  • provide user with workaround if possible (if this is a bug)
  • try to reproduce (if this is a bug)

If this is not a bug no a change:

  • try to re-solve if possible

Escalate as required to right engineer: see #Resources

[edit] Bug Report

  • Bug Report must have:
    • good summary (one sentence describing bug, this will become "Mantis Summary" field / Release Notes summary)
    • good description
    • steps to reproduce
    • screen shots, etc
    • always reproducible? (Y/N)
    • priority (mantis field "T") defined
    • link to Parent Mantis
    • link to wiki spec to this component

[edit] Mantis

Some support tasks require task to be created in mantis.

Do not forget to link to proper Parent Mantis!

Each support task in mantis must be assigned to the person who is handling this task at the moment. Mantis#Status must be up to date.

All Support tasks are categorized into 3 mutually exclusive categories:

  • bugs
  • new components
  • changes to existing components
  • misc

[edit] Change Request

Requests for Change should initially go to the module owners, and then discussed at The CT2 Board meeting since they may impact other modules. The Board will then decide if they are necessary and should proceed for design and development.

Once approved mantis will be created and added to "Backlog" folder.
