1253218 - when using compare view in perfherder it is unclear that the base revision needs retriggered jobs

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

perfherder compare mentions it needs more data, but it isn't clear on what that really means and how to do it.

It makes sense to retrigger or get more data for your try push, but the base revision that you compare to (many times on m-c) needs more data and that part is easy to get confused.

This could be a simple text change in the UI- maybe a more comprehensive docs section as well.

This bug requires the 'Retrigger' button from bug 1202718 & its functionality. It will address the above issue nicely.

What's left here is decide on a better definition of the docs.

• do we need more than one?
• if yes, where should we place them?

This ticket is much older than 18 months, thus closing it as INCOMPLETE.
