- PyTasks - About - Task life cycle
-{% endblock %}
-{% block content %}
- The task is created by a user and will start life in unpublished state. The creator has all rights over the task. The task in this
- stage will be visible only to the creator. He can anyways request other users to view and review the task. Then the requested user
- can view the task untill he does not reply to the request. If the user accepts the request, he can view, edit and comment on the task.
- The user can also add/remove subtasks or dependencies. If he rejects the request he is just like other users and cannot view the task.
- When the creator decides the task is ready to be published, he publishes the task. Through out this phase,
- the creator of the task can delete the task at any point in time.
- <br /><br />
-
- If the task survives and is published, the task is available to be viewed by all the users. The task cannot be edited after this
- point but subtasks/dependencies can be added/removed. If the task has subtasks, the task is locked forever. It implies that the task
- cannot be claimed by anyone and exists only to show all of its subtasks in one place.<br /><br />
- If a task has dependencies, the task is locked untill all of its dependencies are completed. If all its dependencies are completed,
- the task is open for claims and can be claimed by users.
- If a task has neither subtasks nor dependencies, it is open as well and users claim the task. Any of the reviewers can select user(s)
- from the claimed users to work on the task . Dependencies can be added/removed only untill a user is selected to work on the task. This is due
- to the fact that user had a chance to claim when the task had no dependencies or all its dependencies were satisfied.
- Also selecting a user to work on the task implies the task has all its dependencies satisfied.<br /><br />
-
- During the working stage of task, a reviewer can request assign of pynts to users working on task or the reviewers. The assign pynts link
- will be available to reviewer on the task page. If there are no users working, the reviewer can request assign of pynts to himself
- or one of the other reviewers, who ever has done work on the task. Even if there are no users working on task, if there is a
- request for assign of pynts to the task implies that someone has worked on the task and hence dependencies cannot be
- added after that.<br /><br />
-
- The users can be selected to work or removed from working users at any point in time. If a user is removed, he can claim again
- to request to continue working on the task. If a user is removed, all the pending requests for assigning pynts to user will be made invalid.
- After a considerable amount of work has been done and all the users and reviewers have been assigned pynts properly, any reviewer in the
- task can mark the task as complete. The link is available on assign pynts page just in case
- the reviewer wants to assign more pynts before marking the task as complete.<br/>
- If a reviewer feels that the task is invalid or decides to delete the task, he will not be allowed to do it. Instead he can close the task
- by providing a closing message. The link to close task will be available to reviewers on the task page itself.<br /><br/>
-
- Now all this can be done by any of the reviewers and hence think twice before you request a user to reviewer the task.
