Act on what needs you

What puts an item in Needs you, how it is ordered and how to turn a failed run into a bug.

In short

Needs you asks every module you have on what needs you now. It lists the most pressing items, each with its action: open a failing run, review applicants or reply to a mention. A failure can become a bug card in one step.

Before you start

• Who: anyone signed in. You see only what you may open, in the workspace you are in, for modules that are on for you.
• Plan: none. "Create bug" needs Boards on for you.
• First: nothing. Home refreshes every minute.

Act on an item

1. Open Home and find the Needs you tile. Red marks something broken or late, amber something waiting for you.
2. Press the item's action: "Open", "Review", "Reply" or "Create bug". Rows that say the same about the same place fold into one, with how many.
3. When more wait than the tile shows, press "... more need you" at its foot. A panel opens with the whole list, by project.
4. Press "Not now" on a first-step item you want to put aside.

Create a bug from a failure

1. Press "Create bug" on the failing row.
2. Pick the board - the one you used last is chosen - and the severity. Add a title only if you want your own.
3. Press "Create bug", then "Open card" in the message.

The failure's own module fills the bug: the steps to repeat it, what was expected and what happened, the evidence and, for a UI run, the screenshot. The card and the failure link to each other.

What appears

Good to know

• Broken or late comes first, then things waiting for you, then news, newest first within each. The number beside the title counts everything found.
• You only see what you may open, in the workspace you are in, for modules that are on for you.
• Create bug appears while Boards is on for you - here, in Testing health and on the tester's own screen.
• Home refreshes every minute. A failing API stays until a run passes; a card leaves once it is done or no longer due.

If something goes wrong

• "Needs you could not load": press Retry. The other tiles keep working.
• No board to choose when creating a bug: create a board you can add cards to. A failure from API Tester goes to a board connected to its project - connect one from the project's Add to board dialog first.
• Due today looks a day off: Home uses your device's time zone.
