TaaS FAQ

Can we invite users who haven't registered to topcoder yet ?

  • We can't invite unregistered member through taas app, but we can invite one through Connect. The non registered member invited through connect will be displayed as invited member in Taas app without link
  • If you try to invite at taas-app which is not topcoder registered you will receive error User doesn't exist

How does logic isApplicationPageActive works ?

  1. Each job records has field isApplicationPageActive (default false).

Note job.isApplicationPageActive is a new field which is yet to implemented. refer https://github.com/topcoder-platform/taas-app/issues/125

  1. When for that particular job, if isApplicationPageActive = false. job description from frontend can be edited.

  2. Now, At RCRM, the manager review job description and is fine with posting to gig web page. For that He enables enable job application form. I believe by enabling this flag at RCRM - job will be posted to webpage automatically.

  3. 3rd step, triggers job updated RCRM event which we capture at Zapier.

  4. At Zapier, we shall check enable job application form= 1 (true).

  5. If true patch job.isApplicationPageActive=true (for Job.ExternalID)

  6. At front-end, check if isApplicationPageActive=true if yes, disable job description editing as it is already reviewed by RCRM manager and posted to website and add (“You may not edit a Job Description that is currently posted to Topcoder.com. Please contact [email protected].“)

  • RCRM.enable job application = true, taasapp.job.isApplicationPageActive=true, job description cannot be edited at taasapp and job will be posted to https://www.topcoder.com/gigs/212xxxx
  • RCRM.enable job application = false taasapp.job.isApplicationPageActive=false, job description CAN be edited at taasapp and job cannot be seen at gigs page

On button click on Open in connect on TaaS Home page, gives 404 error

  • This could be due to role issue. Currently only bookingmanager and connectmanager is having full access both to connect and taas app.

I cannot see memberRate at Taas App

  • memberRates are confidential, only customer of the project and TaaS admin (bookingmanager) has full access to all fields

I can see all project/teams at taas-app even though i am a normal topcoder user

  • In this issue the said user also had connect manager role, hence user was able to see all projects. Always check what kind of role access you have, Note that, You can see all projects in Connect App, even though user is not a member of the project.This is because the user might have connect manager role. Booking Manager is a general role like Connect Manager if user has that role, then user can access any Team in TaaS App
