What are accounts for?

What are accounts for? I've created two accounts and assigned projects to them. Having done so I can't see any benefit. What am I missing?

Fantastic response time

Absolutely blown away by the responsiveness of you guys in the support forum, very, very impressive

That would be fantastic!

Great!

Oliver Searle-Barnes replied on September 30, 2009 18:06 to the question "Burndown Chart not informative enough" in Atlantic Dominion Solutions:

Sorry should have been a bit informative, the issue is with the axis that are used to display the graph rather than the information in it. I would like the range for the hours/points axis to be always from zero to the max hours/axis for the iteration so far. I would also like the range for the time axis to always show from the start of the iteration to the end of the iteration.

In this way I can put the information that you already display in the context of the entire iteration which is where I find it really useful. Many thanks

That would be in addition to the acceptance criteria.

So three fields in total; name, description, acceptance criteria

I've always used the burn down chart as a way of visualising the progress of the current sprint and how likely it is to hit completion. The current chart does not do anything towards this requirement please, please make this change.

I work in a company where there are many projects and people. To only have one person that can add projects and edit roles on them is crazy! So far we think the product is great, but without this feature there's no way we could go for it, please, please get this added.

Bigger textareas

All of the textareas in the user interface are way too small. Please could you make them larger and also make them resizeable using javascript. Currently it's really difficult to edit the text inside them, particularly when you're adding acceptance criteria for a story.

To work around this I've installed textarea++ which allows you to resize all textfields in firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire...

Safari also let's you resize out of the box.

Stories description field

Every story that we write has a definition of the form

I as a #{role} would like #{feature} so that #{business value}

It would be great to have a "description" field so that we could include this information. Currently we are putting it into the acceptance criteria box but this seems a bit irksome.

Oliver Searle-Barnes replied on September 28, 2009 23:33 to the problem "I can't get drag and drop of product backlog into sprint to work!" in Atlantic Dominion Solutions:

I've tried this in safari and firefox on os x, firefox on ubuntu and IE on windows.
The only one that worked is IE on windows. I've also tried following all of the advice listed above, clicking expand all, trying to drop in the small area just under a sprint. With regards to the drop zone I've tried dropping everywhere, to the point of dropping to several different points both in the box below and the sprint header.

This is extremely frustrating as the product otherwise looks excellent. My company is evaluating it for the next iteration and while I can get the sprint started by adding the first story in IE this is currently a big minus against the product as it really breaks the light feel and empowerment that the app generally provides.

Just set up my account with Kublax, after the import of my accounts and the autocategorisation was so smooth I presumed that this would be a feature already. You might want to use the power of crowds here, use the categories that people assign to sources to autocategorise transactions for all users in the future. e.g. if 5 people categorise Bernies Burger Shack as a restuarant then apply that categorisation to similar transactions for any user. Obviously if someone recategorises then you would have to honour that, in general though you could just take the category that must people have chosen. In this way your autocategorisation process would continually improve for all users.
