Bugs Manager 1.5

Bugs Manager is a bug tracking and project management system.

Track bugs, assign tasks, manage projects, review their status, run and print reports, make sure issues are addressed... Flexible enough to fit many different task management scenarios.

Written in pure ASP (active server pages), it runs on your Web server, and can be easily accessed and managed at anytime, from anywhere, using your browser.

Because the ASP source code is included, you can also use it as a starting point and customize it to exactly fit your needs.

Bugs Manager makes managing a project an easier and more flexible task:
- Easier, because all team members are automatically notified via e-mail when a new task is assigned, or when a comment is posted to an existing task. Keeping everybody up to date is never a problem.
- More flexible, because everybody involved with the project can access the system from any computer, at any time.
Project Management & Bug Tracking
- Add unlimited projects to the system.
- For each project, specify: name, description, start date, end date, status (e.g. completed, delayed, in progress, etc.).
- Create up 5 custom fields to hold information that's specific to the feedback that will be added to your projects. Make each custom field required or not, and set it up either an an input field or a drop-down menu.
- Easily assign users to a new project, or reassign users among existing projects.
- Assign a project manager to a project.
- Remove a project from the system without deleting it, by making it inactive.
- Obtain project-specific reports on the status of all project issues.
- View and print printer-friendly project reports.
User Management
- Create unlimited system users
- Bugs Manager supports 3 user levels:
- System administrator. The system administrator has access to all system features, including the Control Panel to manage the system. The system administrator can act as project manager for all projects. The administrator can edit and delete any feedback posted to the system by any other user.
- Project Manager. The project manager has administrator access to the projects to which he/she has been assigned. However, project managers do not have access to projects that they are not part of, nor to the Bugs Manager Control Panel. A user can be a Project Manager for one or more projects, and a Team Member for other projects.
- Team Members. Team Members have access only to the projects to which they have been assigned. They can add and read postings within those projects, upload files, and more.

Adding Feedback for a Project
- Users can only add feedback for projects to which they have been assigned. They do not see, and therefore cannot add feedback for, projects that they are not part of. The administrator sees all projects and can add postings to any of them.
- Team members can edit previously added postings, but only if they had submitted them. Project managers and administrators can edit or delete any postings.
- Users can enter the following information when adding feedback to a project:
- Project to which the posting applies
- Type of feedback (e.g. bug, new feature, etc.). The type of feedback is selected from a drop down menu that is populated with entries added by the system administrator using Bugs Manager's Control Panel.
- Priority (e.g. high, low, to be determined, etc.). The priority is selected from a drop down menu that is populated with entries added by the system administrator using Bugs Manager's Control Panel.
- Assignment. This is the team member the task is assigned to. This is feature is ONLY available to the system administrator and the project manager. Team members cannot set and/or edit the task assignment. The user to which the task has been assigned is notified via e-mail of the assignment. The e-mail contains a link that takes the user back to the system for more details on the assigned task.
- Deadline. This is the date before which the task should be completed. This is feature is ONLY available to the system administrator and the project manager. Team members cannot set and/or edit a deadline for a task. When a task is passed the due date, a warning message is shown on the project details page next to that task.
- Custom fields (up to 5). This are extra fields that can contain information that's specific to the kind of feedback that will be added to your projects (e.g. Issue found on, Issued fixed on, etc.). You can set each custom field to be required or not. You can set each field to be either an input field or a drop down menu of pre-configured selectable options.
- Short description. This is the posting title.
- Long description. The description field supports HTML tags. A built-in HTML editor makes it easy for anyone to enter formatted content.
- Attached files. Bugs Manager allows users to associate files with a posting (e.g. an image, a text document, etc.). Files can be easily uploaded from within Bugs Manager. More than one file can be associated with any posting.
