WikiDocumentation

The big new feature of jTrac 2.3 is a built-in wiki. It's accessible through the Wiki link at the top menu bar. Initially, the wiki contains three pages the HomePage, the SandBox and RecentChanges. HomePage is the starting point behind the Wiki link, SandBox is a place where everyone can practice editing wiki pages without disturbing any actual content, and RecentChanges is an automatically updated page that lists all pages that have recently been edited. It's not supposed to be edited, just to inform anyone curious about where changes have been made.

The menu at the left has links to these pages, as well as a search box, and a link to take people back to the dashboard of the bug tracker (all this is in theOther pages section.) The This Page section relates to the current page, and has links to show the previous version (the linked date of the last change), show the differences since the last change (What's changed?), an Edit link that allows you to do just that, as well as a Watch or Unwatch link. The latter will cause you to get an email notifying you every time a change has been made to this page. (Not quite every time, though - if you haven't visited the page since the previous edit, you won't get another email.) Note that the watch is for this one page only; if you're interested in other pages as well, you need to click Watch on those pages as well. If you're no longer interested in those mails, click the Unwatch link.

The syntax used to create end edit pages in Markdown Syntax, and you can learn about its basics, and find a longer tutorial if you follow the link. You can create a new page by adding a link to it to an existing page. A link is the page name in camel case. A question mark will automatically be appended to it - this means the page doesn't yet exist. If you click on the question mark, you'll be taken to the new page in edit mode, where you can start adding content to the page. Once you save it, the page will be properly linked wherever its name is added to a page.
