Homepage Screen
This screen is composed of three fields for completion
by the user:
 edmine URL: the Redmine URL.
R
 sername: the user’s name.
U
 assword: the user’s password.
P
As this information is necessary for retrieving the data
from the Redmine platform, we record it in a variable of
the application in order to prevent the user from having
to provide it again whenever it is required.
The application remembers the user’s password at the
time of his or her first connection. At the time of a future
connection, the user can enter his or her username and
knock a part of the screen (apart from the text fields and
the button) so that the application fills in the password
automatically.
Main Screen
Once the user is connected to the Redmine platform,
the application will display the main screen. This screen
consists of a calendar and three panels located on the
left, right and bottom of the screen.

Calendar
When the main screen is displayed, the calendar will be
positioned by default on the current month. The role of
the calendar is to display the Versions from their start
date to their end date in the form of a coloured rectan-
gle.
The grading composing the version’s coloured rectan-
gle represents the ratio between the number of closed
Story Points and the number of Story Points planned
for the version.
The calendar can be consulted in two forms:
 A per-month view.
 A per-week view.

Clocking-on
Above the calendar, a coloured rectangle includes:
 The name of the month in progress.
 he number of hours clocked-on by the user for the

displayed month.
A repeated knock on the right-hand part of this rectan-
gle will cause a window to emerge containing the de-
tails of the user’s clocking-on.
The information concerning the user’s clocking-on is
contained in a scrolling list that you can browse by put-
ting a finger on the list and sliding it up and down.
A repeated knock on the left part of the month’s rectan-
gle will make a window emerge containing the details
of the clocking-on of all the users for the month in pro-
gress.
The information concerning the users’ clocking-on is
contained in a scrolling list that you can browse by put-
ting a finger on the list and sliding it up and down.
The selected month can be changed by putting a finger
on the window and by sliding it to the right to display the
previous month and to the left to display the following
month.
Entering a number of hours in the text field and press-
ing on the “Check” button will display in blue the peo-
ple who have already clocked-on for a number of hours
equal to or higher than the number that has been en-
tered.
To return to the main screen, you just have to press on
the “Back” button or to put a finger on the upper part of
the screen and slide it downwards.

A repeated knock on a rectangle representing a version

Issues
The third tab offers information concerning the ver-
sion’s issues.
The issues are contained in a scrolling list that you can
browse by putting a finger on the list and sliding it up
and down.
The selection of an issue in the scrolling list will cause
the information to be displayed above the list. The “Go”
button enables a web browser to be opened so that you
can go to Redmine on the page of the selected issue.
Version Selector
The fourth tab allows a selector to be displayed that in-
cludes all the versions of the project to which the previ-
ously selected version belongs. To select an element in
the selector, you just have to place a finger on the selec-
tor and move it up or down until you reach the desired
element.
The selection of a version will have the effect of updat-
ing the data of the other three tabs relating to that par-
ticular version.

Velocity Screen
The velocity screen consists of a graph and three pan-
els located on the left, right and bottom of the screen.
The velocity is the ratio between the estimated num-

worked.
By default, when the view is displayed, the graph that
is generated represents the projects’ velocity. To move
the graph, you just have to put a finger on the screen
and slide to the left or to the right. You can also zoom
in on the graph by putting your thumb and your index
finger on the screen and then separating them.
