Often a project has more than one people working on it and there is some kind of hierarchical relationsship between them. Quanta Plus supports the notion of team members and they are configurable in the -> (Shift+F7) dialog.
The team member editor dialog
The Name, Email entries are self explaining. Nickname is the nick of the user and acts as an unique identifier.
Role specifies the role of the member in the project and can be one of the following:
Team leader
Subproject Leader
Task Leader
Simple Member
Task is a description of the task assigned to this member.
Subproject: you can select a list of subproject. Subprojects can be configured and created by pressing the Edit subprojects button. Each subproject has a user visible name and a location entry, the later specifying a relative path to a directory under the project tree. This means that a subproject is a directory under the main project. For example the main project can be the website of your company, while a subproject can be the website for the intranet, located under the intranet
folder in the project.
One member can have more than one role in the project, like both team leader and subproject leader.
The user should select who is himself from the list of the team members. This is possible by selecting a team member from the list and pressing the Set to Yourself button. The currently selected member (your identity) appears in bold after the You are: text.
Nicknames and setting yourself is important regarding messaging and annotations. See the section called “Annotations” to learn more about annotations.
Aside of keeping track of your team, there is one more benefit of setting up the team members: you can configure an event to inform the team leaders when some action happens. See the section called “Event Actions” about how to do it.
