WorkRoll Bug Tracker 2.62.4

WorkRoll is a powerful web-based bug tracker which you install in less than five minutes. Once installed, users connect to it through a web browser from anywhere on the internet (and the browser requires no plugins, ActiveX controls, or Java). Installation requires no text-file configuration, no non-standard or third-party Java classes, and no database.
Software developers should think of WorkRoll as a fully featured, e-mail-enabled "bug tracker." Other users should think of WorkRoll as "to-do" list to be shared via the web among members of a project team.
In either case, WorkRoll allows people to assign "issues" (things that need to be done before a certain time) to themselves or to other people, to assign a priority ("low," "high," "emergency," etc.) and a status ("open," "resolved," etc.) to each issue, to associate each issue with a certain project and project version, to set deadlines, and to attach files and link URLs to issues. Users may then sort and filter lists of issues (for example, sorting the list by due-date, or filtering the list to show only issues assigned to a certain user). User accounts may be configured to allow users access to all projects or only to certain projects; users may also have "read-only" access to issues, or full access (ability to edit as well as view)..
If WorkRolls e-mail capabilities are enabled, users will receive e-mail-based notifications of newly added or changed issues, and reminders of impending and missed deadlines. WorkRoll can generate printer-friendly versions of the issue lists it keeps track of, and can import and export these lists to and from other applications. And WorkRoll supports "tiered access" to its features (for example, "administrator" users can create new user accounts, while non-administrator users cannot).
Main features:
- Is fully web-based; all administration and use is via a web browser
- Windows users have the option of installing WorkRoll with a Windows-executable installer program; this program also installs an application server automatically
- For users of any operating system, is installable as a self-contained J2EE "web application"
- Tracks issues by status ("open," "resolved," "closed")
- Tracks issues by priority ("very low," "low," "normal," "high," and "emergency")
- Tracks issues assigned to and by specific users
- Creates projects and assigns specific issues to them
- Allows certain users access only to certain projects
- For software developers, creates instances (e.g., "Johns development environment," "production instance," etc.) and assigns issues to them
- Creates versions (e.g., "2.1 beta," "2.1," "2.2," etc.) and assigns issues to them
- Assigns due-dates and times to issues
- Allows up to five file attachments for each issue
- Allows up to five URLs to be associated with each issue
- Provides descriptions for each issue, optionally associating URLs and file attachments with descriptions as needed
- Provides for the addition of time-stamped comments about individual issues
- Sorts issue lists by status, priority, project, instance, assigning user, assigned-to user, opened-date, due date, description, or database ID
- Filters issue lists by status, priority, project, instance, assigning user, assigned-to user, opened-date, due date, or database ID (e.g. view only "emergency" issues, or issues due this week)
- Imports issues from other applications or databases (WorkRoll imports in tab-delimited-text format); import functionality includes a robust format-error-reporting interface that tells the user exactly what must be changed before a can may be imported successfully (e.g. "Line 436: 12-03-003 is not a valid date")
- Exports issues to other applications (such as spreadsheets) or databases (WorkRoll imports in tab-delimited-text format); export formats are partially customizeable (such as the format of dates, whether or not a header row is exported, etc.)
- Generates printer-friendly lists of issues, with user control over orientation (portrait or landscape), font size, and other options
- Generates summaries of individual users and projects
- Allows for tiered access (users can have "administrator" privileges or not; non-"administrator" users can have read-only permissions, or full permissions to change, edit, and delete issues)
- Reminds users of forgotten passwords based on a "secret question"
- Notifies users (at the assigning users option) via e-mail of newly assigned issues, and of changes to existing issues
- Optionally attaches "iCalendar" files to these notifications (iCalendar files when double-clicked become appointments in calendar programs such as Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and iCal)
- Reminds users (at the assigned-to users option) of impending and missed deadlines
- Provides a full help system in a desktop-application-style help window
- Provides easy access to web-mail-based technical support from WorkRoll.com
- Allows a ten-day, full-functionality, free trial period
Version restrictions:
- 10 days trial
