Bug reporting portal

A bug reporting portal is where users report bugs with screenshots and steps to reproduce, the engineering team triages each report by severity on a board, and every reporter can see whether their bug has been fixed.

Pattern: Requests

Describe it to Pory

“Our users report bugs with screenshots. Engineering triages them by severity, and whoever reported a bug should be able to see if it's been fixed.”

What is a bug reporting portal?

A bug reporting portal is where users report bugs with screenshots and steps to reproduce, the engineering team triages each report by severity on a board, and every reporter can see whether their bug has been fixed. It follows the Requests pattern: someone submits, someone decides, it moves through statuses. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (reporter and engineering) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited users.

What it does

01

Bug reports arrive with screenshots and repro steps attached

Bug reports used to be "the invoice thing is broken again" in a support email, with the screenshot promised and never sent. In Pory the reporter describes what happened, uploads screenshots, picks a severity, lists the steps to reproduce and names their browser. Engineering can start on it without a week of clarifying emails.

02

Engineering sorts reports by severity on one board, blockers first

Bugs arrived through support, sales and the CEO's text messages, and the loudest one got fixed first. In Pory each report is a card showing its severity, in Reported, Confirmed, Fix in progress, Fixed or Can't reproduce, and engineers drag it along as they work. The tax-rate blocker gets attention before the blurry logo does.

03

Reporters see whether their bug is confirmed, in progress or fixed

Once a bug went into the tracker, the person who found it never heard about it again, so they reported it again. In Pory each reporter sees their own bugs with a progress bar from Reported to Fixed, including a Can't reproduce answer when that's the outcome. Duplicate reports drop, and so does "is this fixed yet?"

The parts every portal is built from

Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.

Collect

Forms

Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.

Public pages

An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.

Self sign-up

People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.

File attachments

Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.

Decide

Approve / reject with a reason

Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.

Status tracker

“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.

Board by status

Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.

Checklists

Task lists ticked off per record, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.

Assign to a person

Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.

Notes & scores

A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.

Reminders by date

Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.

Share

Tables

Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.

People directory

Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.

Calendar

Records on a month or week view, by date.

Gallery & image grid

Records as cards or photos.

Record pop-up & linked records

A shareable pop-up with a record's details and what's linked to it. Edit, change status, or add a linked record from there.

Notices & info pages

Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.

Counts, totals & averages

Live figures over the rows a viewer is allowed to read.

Control

Role & row access

Own, assigned, managed, and team rows; hidden fields per role. Generated from your description, not configured field by field.

No-Password Doors

A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.

Your brand

Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.

On purpose

Four things Pory won’t do

A portal runs a program, a service, or a process. These jobs belong to tools built for them, and Pory keeps the records around them instead.

Take payments

Pory tracks who owes what and who has paid. It doesn't collect the money — keep your payment tool for that.

Book time slots

Availability, capacity, time zones, and reschedules are a whole product. Pory holds what happens after the booking.

Host the conversation

No feeds, threads, likes, or polls. A note on a record, yes; a forum, no. Where members talk is another tool's job.

Plan routes

Pory keeps the service record, not the map.
