Team Collaboration for Code Review › Create a Review Request

Create a Review Request

You create a review request to initiate the code review process. When you create a request, you assign reviewers, and optionally change the primary reviewer, specify a due date, add notes, and so on.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Explorer View and navigate to the package you want to be reviewed.
2. Right-click the package and select the Request for Peer Review option from the shortcut menu.

   The New Review Request dialog appears. The selected package name appears in the Package field.

3. Complete the dialog fields. The following fields require explanation:

   Assigned To

   Assigns users for the package review. You can add or remove reviewers, or change the automatically assigned primary reviewer.

   Include Due Date

   Enables the Due date drop-down list.

   Due date

   (Optional) Specifies a date for which the reviewers must complete the review. When you click the drop-down list arrow, a calendar feature opens that lets you specify a date and time. You save your changes by selecting the checkmark.

   General Notes

   (Optional) Provides information about the package changes that are being reviewed.

   Send an Email to Reviewer

   (Optional) Sends an email to each reviewer notifying them that they are assigned to a review.

   Note: The administrator must configure email for this option to execute. For information about configuring this option, see the Peer Review information in the Administrator Guide.
