Your first 10 minutes¶

This page walks you through the everyday happy path. It assumes someone has already installed Specivo and given you a sign-in.

1. Sign in¶

Open your team's Specivo URL and sign in with the username (or email) and password you were given.

After signing in you land on your dashboard — a personal overview of issues assigned to you and recent activity across your projects.

2. Open your project¶

Use the Projects item in the left sidebar to open the project you work in. The project overview shows its issues, wiki, roadmap, and members. See Projects.

3. Find an issue¶

Open the Issues list for your project. Every issue shows its key (like ACME-42), subject, tracker, status, priority, and assignee. Click any row to open the issue.

On the issue page you can read the description, see its relations to other issues, scroll the comment history, and view attachments and metadata.

4. Leave a comment¶

On an issue, scroll to the comment box, write an update in Markdown, and post it. Mention a teammate with @username to notify them. Your comment joins the issue's permanent history. See Comments & reactions.

5. Change the status¶

When you start work, set the issue's status to In Progress; when you finish, set it to Resolved. You can also nudge the % done and reassign the issue. See Updating & editing issues.

6. Create an issue¶

Spotted something that needs doing? Click New issue, pick a tracker (Bug, Feature, Task, or Support), write a clear subject, and save. That's the whole minimum. See Creating an issue.

7. Search¶

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux) anywhere and type. Specivo searches issues, wiki pages, comments, and attachment descriptions together, by keyword and meaning. See Finding issues.
