******CITSmart** **Simple** is a functionality of the **CITSmart** that allows **the easy and agile
management of activities**. It was created to manage projects in the simplest way,
with resources to organize, monitor, and delegate the activities among the members
of your team or individually.
**Simple **is based on the Kanban methodology, it is visually organized in a framework
with cards that indicate the flow progress.
In the **Simple workspace**, activities are inserted and grouped by projects
(in Simple called Workspace), task pane (in Simple called Sprint) and finally
tasks, which can be in groups of cards.

- ******1\:** searches for any information that is in any other Workspace, Sprint,
List or Task. It is possible the search that selects the activities by the estimated
date of its development (the period of beginning and conclusion). To use this search
feature, follow the instructions below:
- For the correct operation of this field, it is necessary that the Workspace,
Sprint and activity have an estimated date of beginning and end;
- Make the search. The system will then return a list of Workspaces, Sprints, and
Lists that are between the date referenced in the search.
- ******2\:** create a new Sprint
- ******3\:** abbreviation of added member names. By clicking on it, it is possible to
delete and define if the member will be a manager or not
- ******4\:** add members that will participate in the Sprint
- ******5\:** actions for configuring the Workspace and access to **Profiles and Permissions**:
- The Permissions in Workspace and Sprint, when the **Administrator** is logged, will
be selected by default and cannot be changed. Only when the user is of type **Normal**
will allow editing the permissions. The Workspace Administrator can change the project
manager (Administrator permission) on each Sprint. If the user is not the Workspace
Administrator, you cannot give the administrator permission to another user.
- With the profile of type **Normal** within the Workspace or Sprint, if the user ticks
the "**Change the permissions of Workspace/Sprint members**" checkbox, the permission of
the other members of the project to which they belong will be released, or whether user
who **does not** have the Administrator profile, can change the permission status of each
member, even if he/she is not the Administrator.
3\. Each Workspace will have in its home screen a summary of Sprints and its deadlines:
- ******Expired\:** it presents the number of "**Sprints**" with the "**Delivery date**" smaller than the current date/time;
- ******To be expired\:** it presents the number of "**Sprints**" with the "**Delivery date**" that will expire in 24hs from the current date/time;
- ******On-time\:** it presents the number of "**Sprints**" with the "**Delivery date**" bigger than 24hs from the current date/time;
- ******Total\:** sum of the "**Sprints**" inside the Workspace.

than the current date/time;
- ******To be expired\:** it presents the number of tasks with the "**Delivery date**"
that will expire in 24hs from the current date/time;
- ******On-time\:** it presents the number of tasks with the "**Delivery date**" bigger
than 24hs from the current date/time;
- ******Total\:** it presents the total number of tasks of the Sprint;
- The progress bar has the following calculation:
- 1st made by the sum of the estimated tasks of all completed "**tasks**";
- 2nd The sum of the total estimates of all "**tasks**" is summed;
- 3rd Progress is the percentage calculated with the total estimates of
completed "**tasks**" on the total estimates of all tasks.
