- ******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

- 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.
