Most of our tables have explanation bullet points after the table explaining what to fill in to each field or column:
- Title: Defect title, should give a clear name to the bug that we can use to refer to it
- Component: Where the defect exists, or best guess if not known
- Models: Affected models, should be empty for backend bugs
- Classification:
- Brick: Device requires replacement if the bug happens
- Panic: Device panic reboots if the bug happens
- Failure: Operation fails either in device or backend
- Downtime: Not available either due to device or backend outage
- Cosmetic: Operation success or failure is not affected, but something looks wrong
- Percentage: Percentage of operations affected by the bug in affected device models
It would be great if we could actually tie this somehow to the column so the user would see a tool-tip or some other help text as a guide on how to fill the column value. There probably should also be a generic help text for the entire table that would guide how to fill the table, that could also be hidden normally to not clutter up the view.
