I agree that it would be a great idea. The tester call page could be updated to include one or more pictureof the completed project. A brief description of the requirements. Due date
Then a button to see more details for the interested applicant to click. Once they click on more details, a form should generate with the following information/guestions.
A more detailed description of any tester requirements should be at the top of the form.
DUE date. (Add if any exceptions to due date will be considered
Any designer specific instructions for the piece: items that should or shouldn’t be used (i.e. must use safety eyes for this test, or specific type/weight of yarn). Also include the largest stitch count (as I see potential applicants asking that all the time)
Yes please consider me for testing and tag me for release if not chosen
Yes please consider me for testing but don’t tag in release if not chosen
If these buttons are selected, the form could then open the following fields:
Yarn weight: [check boxes for each weight, maybe be allowed to check 2 options]
Color 1 [either be drop down or free text]
Color 2
Color 3….
hook size: [drop down or free text]
Can you complete project, pictures, and journal by due date
Yes
No
Additional comments from applicant: [free text space]
I am not able to apply at this time, but please tag me in release [leave an optional comment space so the potential tester can leave a reason they aren’t interested in testing]
I am not interested at this time. [give this option instead of cancel. [This way there is a response from anyone who clicks the tester call picture] [leave an optional comment space so the potential tester can leave a reason they aren’t interested in testing]
Then if possible, to make everything circle around:
An option form for the designer could open
Accepted - add to the project group chat and send notification to applicant
Possible/alternate - send message to applicant that they are being considered and will receive an update once decision is finalized. (then once final decision is made)
Accepted - add to the project group chat and send notification to applicant
Not at this time, send thank you for interest to the applicant
Not at this time, send thank you for interest to the applicant
I can make other suggestions on how to build this page, but do not have the required programming experience to actually build it. I would be happy to help design this area further if anyone is interested.
