2 - General Overview

Home page view

The vertical navigation bar enables you to navigate through each Squash TM workspace, about which you can further read bellow. The horizontal menu bar enables you to administrate the application settings.

Navigation Bar

The Navigation bar displays six buttons to reach the Squash TM workspaces. Each workspace is differentiated (in the tree structure and the consultation page) by a specific colour, which enable you to orientate yourself in the application while working:

• [Requirements Workspace] is in blue

• [Test Cases Workspace] is in green

• [Campaign Workspace] is in violet

• [Home Workspace] is in grey

• [Management/Report Workspace] is in red

• [Bugtracker Workspace] is in orange

Within the whole application, each workspace is organized the same way : the library on the left (detailed here), and the work space or consultation page on the right (detailed in part here) and which displays the item you selected in the tree structure.

TIP : Resizing

To read more easily while working, the user can resize the tree structure.

1. Pass the mouse over the upright line between the tree structure and the consultation page

2. When a double arrow appears, click on it

3. Drag the line where you want

4. Drop it

5. The two spaces are resized as wished.

Please note that this setting is removed when the user changes of workspace.

Each workspace will be detailed in specific chapters.

This order is shared by all users.

    • From, version 1.20, when the credentials of the bugtrackers that are associated with the projects are saved, the user will automatically be connected to the bugtracker from all the application workspaces. The [Test] button allows the credentials to be tested before saving them by clicking on the [Save] button.
