Queue for issues?

Post by Bulan »

I'm currently using Mantis 1.2.0 with multiple projects, but I'm lacking some kind of feature to order the issues assigned to me.
Since I have a lot of issues assigned, I want to put them in a queue so I can get a grip of when new issues are going to be dealt with.

Is there anything built in for this or any plugin?

Is the standard functionality of filtering and ordering at the "View Issues" page not sufficient?

No, at least I don't think so, because I haven't found anything for me to order the issues in a specifik queue.

Would be nice to have an ordered list, like:
1. my issue 232 < 1 day
2. my issue 290 2-3 days
3. my issue 100 < 1 day

Then I could look in the list and get an approximation on when issue X will be done.

doesn't anyone else feel the need for this?

Or how do you order your issues to decide what you gonna do next? Maybe I'm just not seeing the solution here?

Do you use "due date" of MantisBT to store the date when an issue should be resolved?

At least I "partly" use it..
I could fill out that info and it would look quite ok at first, but the problem is that it often comes "prioritized" issues, meaning that every other issue would have to be moved x number of days.
And also, issues doesn't always tend to be finished in the time originally estimated.. ;)

But maybe there's some way to do a batch run to push selected issues forward to anoter date?

What about three clicks to get your todo list ordered by priority?

1. Main
2. Open and assigned to me
3. P (click on the priority column of the list to sort)

Maybe thats the answer.. I try doing it like that for a while and feel how it feels..

The problem though would be that after I miss a due date or get a prioritized issue, every issue that lies after that has the wrong due date and should need to be adjusted to not get totally out of sync.
Hence the question about a batchrun to increment dates on selected issues.
