JIRA 4.0 : Watching and Voting on an Issue
This page last changed on Sep 30, 2009 by alui.
JIRA allows a user to cast a vote for a particular issue — "voicing" their preference for that issue to be resolved or completed. JIRA also allows a user to watch a particular issue, signing up for notifications of any updates relating to that issue if an appropriate notification scheme has been set up for the project by the administrator. Building on these two features, JIRA provides the ability to view the voter and watcher lists for an issue. Further, a user with the correct permission can manage the watcher list. The voter and watcher lists can be accessed by clicking the relevant link in the left-navigation column (the links for the 'Votes'/'Watchers' totals or the 'Voting'/'Watching' links) when viewing an issue. You can add/remove your votes and watches from the voter/watcher list pages. PermissionsJIRA incorporates two permissions to govern who may view/edit the voter and watcher data:
These permissions can be granted through a Permission Scheme.
