Accounts
When you subscribe to Betaboard, we'll create a new account
that you can access online at http://betaboard.mgtsuite.com. Each account has
its own editable workflow labels to allow a high degree of customization.
Users
When your account is ready, you'll add each member of your
team to its user list. You can then set permissions for each
user, flexibly providing the ability to post, edit and delete notes, add
projects and users, and edit the global account settings.
Notes
When a client or a member of your team discovers a quality
assurance issue, he or she can post a new QA note. The note
form contains fields for the location of the issue (the URL, for web projects),
environment variables like computer platform, and descriptions of the problem.
This note is then passed along through your team until the issue is resolved.
Board
The heart of Betaboard is the board itself, a list of all
QA notes in your account's database. You can view all projects
or just one project, hide completed notes, search for a particular
note, or sort notes by multiple criteria. To focus on your
own tasks, you can even select the notes you intend to address
in the near future, and hide all the others.

Browser
One of Betaboard's most unique and useful features is the
optional Betaboard browser for web-based projects, which
allows your clients and QA testers to browse your project with a
Betaboard toolbar above each page. Besides giving quick access
to a few key features, the toolbar automatically sets platform, browser,
and version information for each new note they write.
