Waiting for you and the mobile app
Waiting for you
Everything Yavaren needs a person to decide, in one list; how you are told, reminded, and how to choose.
Yavaren stops wherever a person must decide, and tells the people who can decide. For example:
- a business brief, features or stories to approve, or questions to answer;
- a story's plan to approve;
- a draft pull request to review and merge;
- a story that needs your judgement;
- work that failed and must be re-submitted;
- proposed rules to activate;
- an offer to accept.
Yavaren never decides for you. Each request only tells you what is needed; you decide on the usual screen.
Who is asked
The person who handed the work over:
- the person who created the requirement;
- or the person who reported the work item in your tracker;
- or the project's owner.
The step's approvers: for example a product's named approvers, or your admins for rules and offers.
Nobody is asked to decide something they are not allowed to decide. A viewer is never asked, and neither is someone who is not a named approver of that product.
Where you see it
Open Waiting for you in the navigation. You see three lists:
- For you;
- Everyone in your organisation;
- Done.
Each request says what is needed, why, and the deadline if there is one. Its button opens the screen where you decide. For a story's plan, a pull request or a failure, you can also decide under Details, right there. Every page shows how many things are waiting for you.
How you are told
- In the app: always.
- By e-mail: at once, or in one summary a day, or not at all. No e-mail is sent in your organisation's quiet hours or on days off.
- In your tracker: a comment on the work item that mentions you, where your tracker supports mentions.
- On the pull request: you are requested as a reviewer, and the description has a "What we need from you" section.
Reminders
If nobody acts:
- Yavaren reminds you after one working day.
- It reminds you again after three working days.
- Then it tells the project's owner and your admins, once, and only those of them who may decide.
Reminders stop as soon as someone decides. For a pull request, a story that needs review or a failure, you can choose Seen — stop reminding me. That changes nothing else.
Your choices
Under How you are told on that page, set:
- e-mail at once, a daily summary, or none;
- whether you are mentioned in the tracker;
- your time zone;
- your user name on the repository host, so you are asked to review pull requests;
- your account id or user name in the tracker, so you are mentioned.
Admins set your organisation's defaults in People, billing, activity:
- e-mail, tracker comments and pull-request reviewers on or off;
- the reminder schedule and when to tell the owner and admins;
- quiet hours, working days and time zone;
- each project's owner and its default reviewers.
