Workspaces 1.1
/>Not
to be left out, GotDotNet Workspaces has also seen a few changes recently. We’ve fixed
a handful of problems and introduced a number of new features. Changes to watch out
for:
-
Access
control system
-
Notifications
for Workspaces events
-
Customization
capabilities, including the ability to upload documents and images
-
Workspace
‘alias’ support for shorter URLs
Access
control gives Workspace owners the ability to organize members of their Workspace
into any number of groups. These groups can then be granted permissions to do various
things within a Workspace. For example, in some cases I may want anyone (literally
‘anyone with a browser’) to be able to open bugs, any Workspace member to be able
to edit them, and only people in the ‘Testers’ group able to close them. No problem.
With a complex code tree checked in to Source Control, it’s also easy to control who
has read and write access to separate parts of the tree.
Notifications
are now available for many more Workspace events than previously. Introducing the
idea of ‘watching’, members can elect to be notified when certain changes are made
to a bug, file or folder, as well as message boards and news.
The
alias support is so simple, why mention it? Well, try memorizing a GUID, or speaking
one over the phone, and all of a sudden it becomes obvious. Now, easy to remember: https://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/alias/.
As
always, the best way to learn more about Workspaces is to explore..

One nice feature request I have is for checkin mail. When you checkin files, a post is created or something with the details of the changes... - Anonymous

This /should/ be a feature, rather than a feature request. Since checkin mails should work today, this may be something specific to your account. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on..
