Take the tour
Let’s set out on a quick journey to understand the different components of Sirap.io's desktop app.
The app consists of a number of panels that by default are organized horizontally across the screen. From left to right, we find:
The menu bar
Located on the left-hand side of the app, the Menu bar lets you quickly jump between the main sections of the interface.
Think of each item in this menu as an 'app' that you will work with to organize, visualize, and complete your work:
Home: The home view provides a highly customizable overview of your team's activity.
Items: Displays all workspaces and items your team have collected.
Calendar: Shows items with start dates and/or deadlines.
Boards: Enables creating and arranging items on Kanban-style boards.
Workspaces: This lets you manage your team's workspaces.
Further down on the left-hand side, the Menu Bar also includes these options:
Create Item: Quickly add a new item.
Team Selection: Switch between different teams.
Notifications: View your notifications.
User Profile: Click on your user profile picture to access a settings menu and other options.
Team Owners and Administrators will also find the Team settings view in the menu bar, used for adding and managing team members, upgrading to the Pro plan, and other settings relating to your team.
Split screen
Most views in Sirap.io’s desktop app, including Items, Calendar, and Boards, use a 'split screen', meaning that the central part of the screen is split in two.
Left Panel
Lists workspaces and items. Here you view and work with all the items you and your team have created, organized by workspace. Click on the header of a workspace to expand and contract it.
Right Panel
Displays view-specific content and will change depending on what ‘app’ you have selected in the menu bar, such aa items, calendar, or boards.
If you just click on an item in the left panel (item list), it will be previewed in this panel. If you click on 'Home' in the Menu bar to the far left, the team overview will show in this panel. Finally, if you select 'Calendar' from the Menu bar, you can drag and drop items from the items list (left panel) on to the calendar to set start and due dates.
Resize the panels by clicking and dragging the divider (or so-called ‘gutter’) between the panels.
You can also hide and show the items list (left panel) completely. This might be useful if you for instance want to focus your attention on a Board or get more horizontal space to work on an item description. To hide and show the item view, in the right panel’s toolbar, click the '<' button at the top.
Sirap.io is highly customizable. In Settings and options (keyboard shortcut: ~) you can for instance swap the order of the panels and also change the layout of the split screen from landscape (side by side) to portrait (above and below). What's depicted here are the default settings.
Viewing an item
A typical workflow in Sirap.io is that you glance over or search for items in the items list (left panel), and once you find something that catches your attention (perhaps a newly added item by someone on your team) you click on this item which shows you all the details of that item in the preview panel.
The preview panel shows you (from top to bottom):
The item's unique ID
The item's title
The item's properties (status, priority, assignee, start date, due date, tags, and attached files)
the item's description
if files are attached, a section previewing these files
a timeline showing all the events that have occurred for this particular item
the timeline also shows all comments that team members have posted on this item
an input box that lets you add comments to the item
At the top of the page, there's also a toolbar that lets you Pin and Subscribe to the item. On the right-hand side of the toolbar, there's a dropdown menu allowing you to customize this view.
Sidebar
Sirap.io's Sidebar is not visible by default. To show it, click the Sidebar button that becomes visible as you hover over the Menu bar.
You can also double-click the menu bar or use keyboard shortcut S to open and close the sidebar.
The sidebar allows you to select different Categories (or 'super-filters'), hide or show specific workspaces, and quickly apply filters using your team’s tags.
Notifications, activity, and team viewer
This panel, situated on the far right-hand side of the app, serves as a notification hub. It displays notifications, such as comments on assigned items, allowing you to click on one to preview the related item.
At the top of this panel, you’ll find drop down menu that enables you to switch between the Notifications, Activity feed, and Team view.
Notifications shows you, unsurprisingly, your notifications. The Activity view presents a continuous stream of all team activities. The Team view displays a list of members from the current team.
That's it! Thanks for taking the tour.
