Hi all, Just a brief reminder that the Testathon has begun. Any feedback would be gratefully received. Ideally either by raising a Jira issue or using the Feedback button on the Demo Site. The more we do the better a product we will have.
It should be noted that the Configurable Reviewer Workflow is not enabled on the Demo Site as it is not yet supported by the JSPUI, but we expect to have it available soon on another publicly accessible site. Thanks, Robin.
