How do I request additional data from WER?
I'm new to WER (in fact, just registered a few days ago).
I was able to create an account and associate a test app with it.
However, when I throw an unhandled exception, I see that no additional files are being collected (there is a corresponding report in the Solution Center with BucketID <> 8, it has not reached winqual yet, but at least it has been posted).
I expect to build files like Version.txt, AppCompat.txt and minidump.mdmp. I also tried adding a file using the WerRegisterFile function . No errors, but no files being sent.
I have read this thread - it says that additional data is only collected if the server requests it. So my question (maybe it sounds stupid, but ...): how can I request additional data? I've looked at everything in my profile, but the only options that are useful are related to product and file associations.
I feel like it should be obvious (it's not discussed in the help), but ... I'm stuck :( A screenshot of where to look would be nice :)

It's strange that no one answered this question as the answer was very simple :)
You cannot collect data for new errors. First, a bug report should appear in WinQual. Then you can view the report (there is only short information) and ask the server to collect files, dumps, additional information. Only then will additional data be collected.
