By allowing bugs with +a certain number of votes to automatically move from "UNCONFIRMED" to +"CONFIRMED", 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. The following settings are available: + +*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 CONFIRMED. + +Once you have adjusted the values to your preference, click "Update". |
