- Criticality Factor. It is the multiplier number for each feature, to
be used when calculating penalties on deliverables, in case of bugs or
delivery missing. The higher, the most critical the feature is.
Motivation
Assumptions
Proposal
Implement 3 visualization styles that can be switched while viewing the draft text:
- Heatmap - Show: Only Comments or Only Amends. A colored background highlights the text fragments containing comments (shades of yellow, color intensity is proportional to the number of items) or amends (shades of green) - !!! CF 3
- Heatbar - Show: Only Comments, Only Amends or All. The colored bar in the left margin changes according to the selected option: a green bar for amends, a yellow bar for comments (color intensity is proportional to the number of items). Both bars placed side by side if user selects to show "All" - !! CF 2
- None - Show: None. Small low contrast numbers are shown after each paragraph indicating the total number of commets and amends - !!! CF 3
For all styles:
- Comments/Amends counter appear in the end of each paragraph (as in "Style:None"). By clicking, the selected items are shown in the right column - !!! CF 3
- User can select a text fragment and onmouseover select to comment or amend in a popup ajax box. If owner enabled only comments or only amends, the popup is not shown and onmouseover the slide box to post (comment or amend) opens up - !!! CF 3
- User can click on any part of the text to display related items on the right column - !!! CF 3
- Filtering the items on right column affects immediately the heatmap, heatbar and paragraph counters for comments and amends - !! CF 2
- Sorting options doesn't affect heatmap, heatbar and counters - !! CF 1
- User can view draft text with 2/3 or 3/5 of screen horizontal size - ?? CF 1
- User can print draft text with any of the selected styles. Heatbar is suggested default - ?? CF 3
- User can Send Via Email a quick link to a comment or amend. The visualization style and item position on the screen are saved as meta information, so when another user clicks on the received link, he can see exactly the same view - ? CF 2
