Add Feedback

If you want to allow your users to add new feedback using the portal, go your project's Framework tab and select Yes from the dropdown menu next to Add new feedback. Select No if you do not want your users to have this option.

Allow Open Session

The system allows you to configure your feedback portal so users can open a session from the portal using the session information saved as part of the feedback. To configure your feedback portal to do this, go to the Framework tab and select Yes from the dropdown menu next to Allow open session.
 

 

If you set the value of this option to Yes the system displays to your portal users an open button in the details popup window.
