Setting SoloSubmit options

Note: SoloSubmit must be enabled for each project.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Project Options.

The Project Options dialog box opens.

2. Select the SoloSubmit category.

3. Select Enable entering issues via the SoloSubmit web page to enable SoloSubmit.

This option is project-specific. SoloSubmit must be enabled for each project.

4. The SoloSubmit HTML page field defaults to solosubmit.htm. If you use a customized SoloSubmit HTML page, enter the file name.

Make sure the HTML file is in the correct TestTrack directory on your web server.

5. Select Email an acknowledgment to the submitter to automatically send an acknowledgment.

Select the Email template you want to use.

6. Select Enter next sequence number in issue’s reference field to automatically enter the next number in the reference field.

7. Select Enforce required field validation to ensure that values are entered for all required fields.

Tip: The required field validation is not enforced for the Entered By field because users do not log in to SoloSubmit. If Entered By is a required field, issues entered via SoloSubmit cannot pass the required field validation check.

8. Select Use default values to initially populate the SoloSubmit web page with default values.

When an issue is submitted via SoloSubmit there is no associated user in the project. Therefore, there are no user options to check to determine which time zone to use. The current time and date of the computer the SoloSubmit CGI is running on when the SoloSubmit page is loaded is used as the default value for date/time custom fields.

9. Select fields you do not want JavaScript to handle field relationships for on the SoloSubmit web page. You would choose not to include the JavaScript for one of the following reasons:

If neither reason applies and you select a field from the list, it can result in unexpected behavior. For example, you ignore JavaScript for Component, which is a child field of Product. When SoloSubmit is accessed, Product and Component are populated with the initial values. If the user chooses a different Product, the Component values are not changed.

10. Click OK to save the project options.

Remember to provide users and customers with the SoloSubmit URL. To submit bug reports or feature requests, they simply open a browser and enter the SoloSubmit URL.
