How Should I Use It?

To Work with Stories

Meaning a single list of stories - with subtasks that are not visible without opening the profile page.

To work with any of the Story Types:

Story, Problem, Possibility, Challenge, and [Candidate]

• Select your Program in the Program Panel. • If you want to limit your work a bit, select Projects and Deliverables in the Project Panel. • In the Types panel select only "Story" (or the other story types: Problem, Possibility, Challenge, or [Candidate].) • Close the Types Panel.

The only Task Type that will be visible or available in the Tasks panel will be Stories.

To work with story types:

• Enter a new Story task. • Double Click on it to open the Task Page. • The Wall Tab contains suggested Story boxes. You can use them, or just write everything in the Description field.

Description Perspective Requirements Reasons Acceptance criteria

• Select the Subtasks (Tasks) Tab. • Enter subtasks.

The values you enter in the subtasks will roll up into (be summarized) in the Story.

To Work with Basic Tasks in a Hierarchy

Meaning a tree of tasks - with subtasks that are visible under each task.

To work with any of the basic Task Types:

Task, Event, Milestone, Expense

• Select your Program in the Program Panel. • If you want to limit your work a bit, select Projects and Deliverables in the Project Panel. • Open the Types Panel • In the Types panel select only Task, Event, Milestone, and Expense - and deselect all others. • Close the Types Panel.

Then just add the various tasks.

That's it.

To Work with Document Sections in a Hierarchy

Note: The Content Tab is not enabled in the Beta Version.

A document may be a new kind of project for you think about, but Runcible is designed like the writing tools used by professional story, novel, script, and book writers.

To work with the Document Task Types:

Document, Section, Article

• Select your Program in the Program Panel. • If you want to, select Projects and Deliverables in the Project Panel. • Open the Types Panel • In the Types panel select only Task, Event, Milestone, and Expense - and deselect all others. • Close the Types Panel. • Save the Workspace under a new name.

Then just add the various tasks.

That's it.

Tip: Whenever you select any of the Types, you will filter all tasks for all programs selected in your workspace.So if you want to mix different types of work in the same project you can just unselect everything in the Types Panel, and see everything from every program regardless of which Types filters you used when entering tasks in each project and program.

To Work with Document 'Scenes' in Script Order.

Note: The Content Tab is not enabled in the Beta Version.

Runcible is an interesting tool for writing shooting scripts and video production because we combine the authoring and project management environments in one application.

Then just add the various tasks.

That's it.

How Should I Use the Projects Panel with Outline View?

We recommend that you work however is most comfortable for you.

But work with a few programs at a time. Save workspaces for groups of programs that you use together. Use the Projects Panel, Projects, Folders and Deliverables to break anything big into pieces.

Examples:

Project -> Phase -> Group of Tasks -> Tasks Project -> Sprint -> Group of Stories -> Stories -> Tasks Project -> Version -> Release -> Stories -> Tasks Category of Job -> Jobs -> Tasks Queue -> Sub-Queue -> Agent -> Tasks Position -> Opening -> Candidates -> Tasks Year -> Review Cycle -> Opportunity Year -> Quarterly Objectives -> Team Member

More... See Using the Projects Panel for more details.

Tip: The task order in the tree and on the board is stored differently. Rearranging the board does not rearrange the tree.
