GN 865 Add Trial Coord Company to Trial Search QUOTE v2 0 ns approved 20 05 2025
This document is the version‑2.0 change request (JIRA GN‑865) for the GRDC National Variety Trials (NVT) system. Authored by Gerri Mills and requested by Neale Sutton, it proposes two enhancements to the Advanced Trial Search: (1) a single‑select drop‑down for “Trial Coordinator Company” populated with companies the logged‑in user can access, and (2) conversion of the Crop, State and Region filters from single‑select to multi‑select drop‑downs. The change is justified by the need for GRDC users to locate trials managed by specific coordinator companies and to search across multiple crops, states or regions in a single query. The document details business rules governing the new fields, provides AS‑IS and TO‑BE wireframes, outlines impacts on test cases and user guides, lists related change requests, and supplies a quote of 120 hours (development, testing, documentation, deployment). The request was approved on 20 May 2025 with a medium priority and no identified risks.
