Guest Role
Guests play a more interactive role. They can see and review feedback from other guests and Public Reporters on the same project, helping to reduce the duplication of feedback reports. Guests can interact on feedback pages by adding comments and uploading additional files, fostering clearer understanding and collaboration. They are also kept updated on their feedback progress through email notifications, and these notifications may be edited.
Guest invitation
Once you invite a guest to your project, they will receive an email notification, complete a short form and get access to the guest portal.
Guest Portal - Enhanced Visibility
The guest portal offers guests an accessible overview, allowing them to track all feedback submitted by themselves or others. They can monitor feedback status and review comments from relevant team members, fostering transparency and collaboration.
Additionally, guests can reopen feedback pages within the Guest Portal at any time. This feature enables them to add further comments and attach supporting files as needed, ensuring continuous engagement and more detailed feedback. It's a streamlined approach that keeps guests informed and actively involved in the feedback process.
Member Role
Members can create new projects and access all project details and feedback pages, offering a panoramic view of all ongoing feedback. Their role is enriched with an advanced member form for reporting feedback, enabling a more profound and sophisticated interaction with the feedback process.
With access to intricate feedback details such as console logs, network requests, and session replay videos, members gain extensive insights vital to understanding and responding to feedback. This access positions them as critical components in the feedback loop, enhancing the overall quality and responsiveness of the process.
Furthermore, members often have access to internal project management tools, aligning them as key players in task coordination within the team. Their comprehensive oversight and ability to connect various elements of a project make them indispensable in ensuring smooth communication and collaboration, reinforcing the efficiency and effectiveness of the team's workflow.
