To begin using our software solution, you must first receive an invitation email from an administrator who has created your account.

This email will enable you to activate your account.

Please see the example below:

Upon receiving an email containing an invitation link, you can activate your account by either clicking the link directly or copying and pasting it into a new browser window.

Once completed, you will be directed to a page on our platform confirming the successful activation of your account.

Please see the example below:

With your account now created and successfully activated, the next step is to set up your password.

Upon completing the activation process, the system will automatically send you an email containing a link to create your password.

Select Languages - Sprachen auswählen

The DevOps portal is set to English by default, which applies to all web pages and sent emails within the system.

However, there is an option available on each page we created to change the settings and switch to German (Deutsch).

Here is a sample screenshot below:

Within the DevOps portal, users have the option to change the language.

This can be done via the drop-down "Language" menu located in the top left corner.

Any changes made will be applied to the system's web and email pages.

With this last step, you are now aware of all the possibilities for the selected language. Well done.

Wenn das DevOps-Portal auf Deutsch eingestellt ist, gilt dies für alle Websites und E-Mails, die innerhalb des Systems versendet werden.

Auf jeder Seite, die wir erstellt haben, steht jedoch eine Option zur Verfügung, um die Einstellungen zu ändern und auf Englisch(English) zu wechseln.

Hier ist ein Beispiel-Screenshot unten:

Innerhalb des DevOps-Portals haben Benutzer die Möglichkeit, die Sprache zu ändern.

Dies kann über das Dropdown-Menü "Sprache" in der oberen linken Ecke erfolgen.

Alle vorgenommenen Änderungen werden auf die Web- und E-Mail-Seiten des Systems angewendet.

Mit diesem letzten Schritt sind Sie sich nun über alle Möglichkeiten für die ausgewählte Sprache im Klaren. Gut gemacht.

The First Access

After completing the logging in for the first time, you might find yourself facing a completely blank page, as shown in the example screenshot provided below:

Please do not be alarmed. This situation typically indicates that you have not yet been assigned any projects, or there might be a configuration issue.

The application itself is functioning correctly. To address this matter, there are a few steps you can take.

If you have contact information for the system administrator, please reach out to them directly for assistance.

The administrator will be able to assign the necessary project or projects or rectify any configuration problems.

If you do not have direct contact with the administrator, you can easily identify them by navigating to the users page located in the main menu.

This will provide you with the information needed to reach out to the appropriate person for support.

Once everything has been configured correctly and any necessary project assignments have been made, the page will no longer be empty.

Instead, you will see links to all the tools and resources you have access to, enabling you to fully utilize the application.
