Space Creation & Configuration
Creating new spaces and managing your existing ones are the most basic and important functions for getting the most out of your Assembla subscription. It's easy to configure your space to fit your needs. In this video, we will demonstrate how to create a new space, add and remove tools, and rearrange the space navigation.
Ticket Tool Overview
Assembla's Ticket Tool will keep your bugs/issues, improvements, client requests, and new releases organized. The Ticket tool supports a number of Agile methodologies and management needs.
- Create a ticket and attach files/Google docs, estimate tasks, log time, add comments, and much more.
- The Ticket List view gives you and your team a list view of important tasks. Easily build filters and reports.
- The Cardwall view automates the "white board and sticky note" version of a Kanban or Scrum board so you can drag task through the workflow via a digital card wall.
- The Agile Planner view is an Ajax UI that makes it easy to visually plan features, stories, and releases with drag and drop.
Time Tracking
Your team members will find it easy to enter their working hours at various places in the Assembla system. Use the Time tool to report on time expenditures.
- Quickly enter time for a project or an individual issue / bug tracking ticket
- Report on time by user, by project, or by a list of projects in a portfolio
- Export time reports to CSV format for use in accounting and billing systems
Building a Development Roadmap
The Agile Planner gives you a fast and fun way to build a development roadmap and interact with your tickets. With four different side-by-side column layouts you can view your tickets and milestones on the same page to better plan your releases or create an infinite number of subtickets under each parents ticket.
Messages
Messages posted on the message board go to the right people, so that you do not lose information in email threads.
- Ajax UI for fast editing
- Select the team members to receive your message by email
- Receive messages by email and respond by email
- Attach files
- Add message threads to wiki pages and images
StandUp Reporting
The StandUp tool only takes about two minutes per day to use. You can add the online StandUp/Scrum to any of your existing communication tools and techniques for managing your team. Start using this helpful tool NOW:
- Invite your team members
- When your team members start their work, ask them to file a StandUp report with 3 simple fields: What You've Done, Will Do, and Roadblocks to finishing their work
- At-a-glance you can see what everyone is doing and eliminate roadblocks before they slow you down
Files
The Files tool gives you a central and secure place to share files and Google docs with team members
- Add files quickly with the ajax upload form, and optionally add descriptions and tags
- Uploaded Google docs are automatically "shared" with your team members so you don't have to
- As users upload new versions, the system keeps old versions and notifies you of the changes
Wiki Tool
Write anything on a wiki page - instructions, ideas, specifications, documentation. Add new pages in seconds. Then, let other team members contribute. It's never a problem, because you can roll back to a version you like
- Relax with the default What You See Is What You Get graphical editor, or select traditional text-based wiki markup
- Page history and rollback
Chat Tool
The Chat tool is a convenient way for your team members to communicate, share information, and work as a team. Here are just a few things you can do with Chat:
- Search your chat history and go back to any previous conversation
- See all member activity in one river of information
- Insert files or link to tickets, profiles and websites
- Use it on any network or computer
Enhanced Subversion
Subversion is Assembla's most popular tool, with over 100,000 repositories hosted to date. Assembla's implementation is feature-rich, highly-reliable and secure. Proprietary features include a beautiful code browser, easy-to-use templates, and simple team invitations get teams started quickly and efficiently.
FTP Tool
Use the FTP Tool to deploy code from your code repositories to to an external server.
- Upload to any server with ftp or sftp installed.
- Control whether deployments are posted manually or automatically on commit, hourly, daily, or weekly.
- Add multiple servers for staging and production releases.
Support Tool
Use the support tool to allow your customers to easily post requests and bugs. Whether your customers have an Assembla account or not, they can post support tickets in seconds. They can track the ticket as your developers work on it, and leave comments directly on the ticket or via email. You can use custom settings and permissions to decide how involved you want your customers to be.
