Tickets

Tickets are worklist items which can be assigned to users and labelled with different workflow states. They can be used for Specifications, To-Do items and any other type of activity where tracking tasks is important within a Project.

Tickets can be assigned to individual users who have a role in the Project Team and/or to a URL Role. When a Ticket is assigned to or removed from an indidivual user, they will receive an email (unless they have turned off receiving email nofications in their TrialGrid user profile). When a Ticket is assigned to a URL Role, the users in the Project with that Role will not be notified by email. If you wish to notify the users with a certain URL Role you can '@mention' the role in a Ticket comment (see below).

Tickets can be associated with:

  • CRF Draft Objects such as Forms, Data Dictionaries etc.

  • Labels which can be used to track workflow states

  • Test Cases

Comments

A user with Comment permission may add a comment to a Ticket. Like Tickets, Comments are formatted in the Markdown syntax and can include references to Project wiki pages, other tickets using the #<ticket_number> and other users using the @username syntax. Users who are @mentioned in this way will receive an alert message in the application but also an email notification that they have been mentioned with a link to the location of the ticket/comment.

Task Lists

Ticket descriptions and comments support task list checkboxes using Markdown syntax. To create a task list, use the following format:

- [ ] An incomplete item
- [x] A completed item
- [ ] Another incomplete item

Each item will be rendered with an interactive checkbox. Clicking a checkbox will toggle its state between complete and incomplete without needing to edit the Ticket body or comment. When a checkbox is toggled, an activity record is created showing which item was marked as completed or incomplete.

A user must have Comment permission to toggle checkboxes.
