5.4. Voting
Voting allows users to be given a pot of votes which they can allocate
to bugs, to indicate that they'd like them fixed.
This allows developers to gauge
user need for a particular enhancement or bugfix. By allowing bugs with
a certain number of votes to automatically move from "UNCONFIRMED" to
"NEW", users of the bug system can help high-priority bugs garner
attention so they don't sit for a long time awaiting triage.
To modify Voting settings:
Navigate to the "Edit product" screen for the Product you
wish to modify
Maximum Votes per person:
Setting this field to "0" disables voting.
Maximum Votes a person can put on a single
bug":
It should probably be some number lower than the
"Maximum votes per person". Don't set this field to "0" if
"Maximum votes per person" is non-zero; that doesn't make
any sense.
Number of votes a bug in this product needs to
automatically get out of the UNCONFIRMED state:
Setting this field to "0" disables the automatic move of
bugs from UNCONFIRMED to NEW.
Once you have adjusted the values to your preference, click
"Update".
