1. If you are using SpiraTest purely within an intranet environment this may not be an issue However if you are externally hosting SpiraTest onto a publicly accessible website we recommend installing a Secure Sockets Layer SSL encryption certificate and restricting all web traffic to the secure HTTPS protocol instead For details on how to perform this task please refer to Appendix B Installing an SSL Certificate 3 System Administration Now that you have successfully installed SpiraTest this section of the guide outlines how to perform the typical system wide administrative tasks necessary for setting up projects in the system managing users and verifying the license information To perform these tasks you need to login to the system with a username that has System Administration permissions The special Administrator username is created by the installer for this very purpose You should initially login to SpiraTest with the username Administrator and the password PleaseChange It is recommend that this password be changed as soon as possible to something that is secure yet memorable by clicking on the User Profile link see the SpiraTest User Manual for more details Once you have logged in as the Administrator you need to click the Administration link above the main navigation bar This will display the Administration home page Welcome System Administrator My Profle Administration

4. Each incident type is assigned to a workflow this allows you to have different incident types follow different paths from creation of closure However when a new incident type is created it will be initially associated with the project s default workflow The steps and transitions that make up the default workflow are illustrated in the diagram below e ll The notify flag is used to tell SpiraTest whether that particular workflow should have email notifications turned on or off You define what transitions and which recipients should receive the emails in the workflow transition editor see below but you can globally turn on off notifications here as well This is useful if you find that the notifications are becoming an annoyance or if the email server is unavailable for a period of time Note You can only assign an active workflow to an incident type and similarly you cannot make a workflow inactive that is currently linked to an incident type This is important as all incident types need to be linked to an active workflow at all times 3 4 1 Edit Workflow Details Clicking on the lt Steps gt button of an inactive workflow brings up the following screen that lists all the workflow steps and workflow transitions that comprise the workflow View Edit Workflow Steps Copy of Default Workflow Change Project lt lt Back to Workflow List This displays all the incident status steps for this particular workflow Assigned
