    Zangune - 2015-03-17

    Even if most of the fields in Issues are prebuilt by SourceForge, the meaning of them needs an explanation.

    STATUS
       FIELD   MEANING
    
      unread : nobody that can modify the issue status read
               that issue yet (the reporter should leave this by
               default);
        open : it is still not clear if it is a valid one or
               not, the issue is under discussion;
    accepted : who modified the issue status believes this
               issue is valid, but either there is no solution
               or interest or time to close this issue;
     pending : someone is working on it, read Owner below,
               this does not mean the issue will be closed
               soon;
      closed : no further comments should be added to this
               issue, it's leaved here just for reference;
    rejected : the idea behind this issue is not accepted by
               the one who changed this status;
     invalid : who modified the issue status believes this
               issue should not be reported here, but
               elsewhere (he should explain why anyway).
    
    OWNER

    The one that is investigating on the issue, part of arz staff.
    Do not set if you are not authorized, please.

    GRAVITY
      high : this issue will affect the main functionalities
             of the program;
    medium : this issue will affect the program in a notable
             way, but the main functionalities are not
             altered by the resolution of this issue itself;
       low : the default one. The issue resolution will not
             affect any notable part of the program for the
             majority of the program users;
    

    arz staff will change status if not appropriate, so you shouldn't care about it.

    TYPE
    defect (default) : something that is documented it should
                       work someway and it works in a
                       different way or it doesn't work
                       at all;
    
         enhancement : something that is not documented it
                       should work but either you want this
                       program to do it or you want this
                       program to do it in a different way.
    
    WINDOWS VERSION

    Set it if you believe your problem can be related to your particular Windows version, it is not mandatory, indeed it is quite unused.

    MARK AS PRIVATE

    Your message won't be shown to anyone but arz staff, do not abuse, please.

    LABELS

    A custom field where you can put anything, usually keywords.

    Everything written in the first message of this topic is in the README.txt file inside the documentation folder of the ARZ zip archive.
