History for Group support in PloneCollectorNG (V 1.1.2 or higher)
??changed:
-
PloneCollectorNG V 1.1.2 or higher introduces support for groups: topic groups and GRUF groups
- Topic groups
A topic is a group where collector members can be assigned to topics. A topic is a possible
value of the 'topic' metadata (can be changed through the schema editor). A topic is either
simple string 'maintopic' or string of the form 'maintopic/subtopic'. Only maintopic strings are
are available as topic group. To edit the mapping topic -> member there is a new tab "topic - user"
available on the collector level.
- GRUF groups
A GRUF group is a simple group that is defined through the !GroupUserFolder inside Plone
PloneCollector V 1.2.0 or higher
GRUF groups can now be assigned through the "staff" tab as supporter, reporter or
tracker administrator. This means you can organize your staff in groups and assign
the GRUF group as member to a collector instance instead of assigning every single
person to the tracker.
If you create a new issue or do an issue followup then you will see the list of staff members
configured for this particular collector. In addition you will see a list of available groups
in a dedicated selection element. Topic groups are marked as '(TG)' and GRUF groups with '(GRUF)'.
You can choose one or more groups. In the current implementation an issue will be assigned to
**all** members of **all groups* as long as the corresponding user accounts are configured
as staff member of the collector.
