Software development team needs a few applications that:
- Structure and maintain all the team projects (like Jira)
- Register issues found in the projects (like Github Issues)
- Collaborate with team members (like Slack)
- Store a knowledge base mined during development process (like Wiki Pages)
- Have a space where each team member can manage their personal tasks (like Todoist)

Task/Project Management
Tasks list can be huge. That's why it might be good idea to group tasks to a project, folder or other container. Treemple likes structuring. It likes it so much that it doesn't put any limit to containers depth. And the best thing is that any node can be container:
- Project might contain folders or vice versa
- Task can contain sub tasks with sub sub task and so on
Navigation in containers is very intuitive like in any file explorer. To make it even more easy to navigate, on the left side there is main container hierarchy. It lists root containers with their children. Left side also contains personal bookmarks and filter which will be discussed later.
Each node in the list may contain useful information like:
- Task Owner
- Status/Progress information
- Tags
- Priority
- And many other
Task Details
Task can contain a lot of information:
- Task Name
- Description
- Status/Progress
- Priority
- Owner
- Tags
Description can be filled with rich text editing capabilities including:
- Formatted text
- Lists
- Tables
- Images
- and more
Collaboration
Registered tasks are static representation of current situation. What makes them dynamic or up-to-date are team members discussions. Each node in Treemple has a channel for team collaboration.
Collaboration can be enhanced with Request. Request can be:
- Request for Approval
- Request for Feedback
- Vote
- And more
Bug Tracking
Every application development process includes bug tracking. Treemple provides possibility to register issues and track their statuses.
Sometimes request could be mailed by application customers. Treemple has a Mail Integration feature. it is possible to add a company mailbox as container.
Each mail can be stored in the Treemple and then be converted to more specific node like task/issue/incident/meeting etc. or moved to a different container.
Maintaining Knowledge Base
During development process team needs a place to share and maintain all the knowledge that they found. Treemple is good place to store it. With capabilities like:
- Structuring knowledge with multi-level hierarchy
- Storing knowledge with rich text editing capabilities
- Next version of Treemple will also provide capability to integrate Office documents editing
- Adding tags or other information
- Collaborate on knowledge
Personal To Do
What is left is personal task management. There is should be a place we can store/manage our personal tasks or tasks in draft mode. In Treemple it is easy, just create a Workspace/Folder/Project and give permission only to yourself. The best thing is that it is possible to create a link from team visible tasks to personal container. This logic is called Shortcut. Shortcut creates a link from source to destination node. Any change on one side reflects on other side. Containers can be shortcuts as well.
Sometimes it is needed to be notified at specific Date & Time. Treemple has a Reminder feature. Just set date & time when you should be notified on specific node.
Another great features are Bookmarks and Filters. Each node can be bookmarked and listed in the left side for quick access.
Filter contains many fields to be used in search. Frequently used filter can be saved.
Apart from filtering there is a feature called Quick Find. It can be activated by CTRL(^)+K shortcut. Searched node can be found by typing it's name, number or id.
