Customization

Custom Properties / Fields

In addition to the built-in fields that are available out of the box, SpiraTeam lets you define custom properties for each type of artifact (requirements, test cases, tasks, defects etc.) in the system. SpiraTeam supports a variety of different field types including: text, rich-text, dropdown lists, integers, decimals, user selectors, and date-fields.

SpiraTeam lets you define a common set of project lists that can be used in different custom properties:

Customizable Artifact Fields

You can customize each of the fields used in the different modules (requirements, test cases, defects, tasks, risks, and documents) to suit your own business needs - including type, status, priority and severity.

You can even associate your own color schemes with the different priorities and severities.

Customizable Workflows & Notifications

Each of the defect, requirement, release, task, and test case types in SpiraTeam can follow its own customized workflow. The workflow editor lets you adapt SpiraTeam to the business processes used by your organization. Each workflow consists of a customizable set of steps and transitions.

You can set the security on each transition so that only the appropriate user can change the status of the artifact. In addition, each transition can be used to send email notifications to the detector, owner or users in a certain project group.

Customizable Email Events and Templates

SpiraTeam comes with a selection of pre-built email notification templates and event definitions. Whenever selected conditions are met, the system will automatically send out notifications based on the defined rules, using the supplied templates.
