Review Cockpit: Managing Review Schemes

Overview
A Review Scheme is a collection of configuration options that can be applied to several projects. Ideally, you will need only one scheme for your entire organization. But since different sorts of projects can be hosted in one Jira instance, it is possible that you need more than one scheme. For example, suppose that some projects call what they do a “walkthrough”, while others call it a “review”. You might then end up with two issue types, Walkthrough and Review. To handle this situation, you create two Review Schemes and associate each to the appropriate projects. Review Schemes simplify the setup and ensure that your Review Management practices are applied uniformly in your organization.
To configure review schemes, you need the "Review Schemes" user permission - see Managing User Permissions.
