How to file NDS work request

NDS work requests

NDS work requests are collected and monitored in GitHub Issues.

Types of requests

There are 4 types of requests:

• Bug report » "I found a problem with NDS"
• Feature request » "I need new functionality/behaviour added to an existing component or a new component"
• Support request » "I need help or consultation"
• Miscellaneous request » "I don’t know how to classify this request"

Process

After filing the ticket Design Ops group with review the request within 1 business day and get back with a plan for execution or an alternative proposal.

The execution of work requests is not limited to Design Ops and anybody is able to execute open work requests. When filling a request you will be asked to specify if you want to work on the issue or if you would prefer Design Ops to work on it.

If you decide to work on the request yourself, someone from Design Ops will review and assign the request to you. Make sure the request has been assigned to you before starting to work on it to prevent duplication of efforts and the introduction of undesirable components, functionalities, or behaviors.

If you are relying on Design Ops for completion of the request please refer to the table below for estimated first response and completion time. Please note that these are estimates and that the actual completion date is affected by the complexity of the request and its priority.
