Creating Actionable Items from Review Findings
For users who conduct reviews in Codebeamer, actionable review findings is a useful feature in the review process. This feature enables the review moderators to create actionable entities from comments on the review items.
The Create Review Finding option is available as an action on the comments for the review items.
You can enable this option as follows:
• While creating or editing a review, select Allow Moderators to create an item from a review comment option.
Select the required Project, Tracker, and Reference field from the respective lists. The Create Review Finding option is enabled in the actions menu on the right pane of the review items page, only if the configuration for creating actionable items is valid and the moderator has the required permissions.
When you click the link of the newly created review finding item in the comment, this item opens in the tracker that was selected while enabling the Allow Moderators to create an item from a review comment option.
To enable the
Create review finding option in the actions menu of the review item comments, you must have the necessary permissions and a properly configured reference field in the target tracker of the same project that you selected when creating the review. For more information on configuring the reference fields, see
Reference Fields.
