2.1.6 Adding Reviewers

The moderator adds reviewers during review creation.
Before the review can be issued to reviewers, the moderator must decide who can review it.

When adding reviewers, you can add registered users immediately. In addition, you can easily invite external users who do not yet have accounts in Crucible to take part.

On this page:

Adding registered users to a review

• If there are seven or more potential reviewers, the list appears as a text box. Start typing the reviewer's name and then press the tab key to select the reviewer.

• The list of 'Reviewers' appears next to the Author and Moderator fields on the review details screen, after they are added.

• If there are fewer than seven potential reviewers, they are shown with checkboxes next to each name.

Click the 'Save' button to save as a draft for later issue, or click the 'Start Review' button (bottom right-hand corner) to issue the review to the reviewers.

You can also decide to allow any registered user to add themselves as a reviewer in the review. To enable this option, put a check next to 'Allow anyone to join'.

Inviting non-registered users to a review

You can invite users who do not yet have a Crucible account to take part in a review.

There are two prerequisites for inviting external users in Crucible:

1. FishEye's SMTP server must be configured and capable of sending email.
2. The setting 'Built-in Public Sign-up' must be set to 'ON'. This setting can be accessed by opening the 'Admin Menu', then clicking 'Security' under 'Global Settings' on the left navigation bar.
   
   To invite an external user to a review,
   1. Create a new review.
   2. On the 'Create New Review' screen, simply type the user's email address into the 'Invited Reviewers' field, then click 'Invite'.
   3. Click Save to save the draft review. The users are not sent any information at this time.
   4. When you click 'Start Review', this is when all email invites and notifications are sent out.
   5. The external user will receive an email address from the Crucible server, containing a special URL that they can visit.
   6. When the user loads the URL they received via email, they are taken to a special Crucible log in screen. On this screen, the user can create a new account that will be linked to the current email address. (If they already have a Crucible account under another address, they can simply sign-in with that log in username and password.)
   7. When the user has successfully created a Crucible account, they will be able to access the review(s) associated with their email address and take part.

You can enter multiple addresses separated by commas, allowing you to paste in a list of email addresses from your favourite email application.
